Word of the Day: Anodyne

Words, at times, randomly strike me as interesting, captivating or curious. Sometimes I pin them here if I am so inclined, which I was, as I sit here on a very gray, wet April morning with a cup of coffee in my hand contemplating.  


Anodyne

various meanings :

1. A substance that relieves pain.
2. Something that soothes, comforts, or calms.
3. Describes something bland, inoffensive, or dull—especially in art or speech.
 


In a Sentence:

“In a bold move to unite the nation, Congress released an anodyne statement that offended absolutely no one and said absolutely nothing.”
