Word of the Day
lachrymose (adj)
Mournful or tearful
"Her tears seemed to grieve the kind-hearted Munchkins, who became lachrymose and began pulling out handkerchiefs."
--L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
I'm not feeling lachrymose. I ran across this word in the newspaper today and liked the sound of it.
