Word of the Day
Anathematize (transitive verb) — to declare a curse; to curse; to declare a ban (as in a vehement religious ban); to denounce (from Late Latin meaning "a curse" and Greek meaning "to dedicate")

Word in a Sentence: In the fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods, The Master anathematizes Godric Taiman when he declares the man's life is forfeit if Kora Taiman should pass away, leaving the man unprotected.

Your turn! It's a strange one to work with today, but can you get creative and use today's vocabulary word in a sentence, too?

"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."
