Insouciant



Our word of the day is INSOUCIANT.

  • Main Entry: in·sou·ci·ance
  • Pronunciation: \in-ˈsü-sē-ən(t)s, aⁿ-süs-ˈyäⁿs\
  • Function: noun
  • Etymology: French, from in- + soucier to trouble, disturb, from Old French, from Latin sollicitare— more at solicit
  • Date: 1799

: lighthearted unconcern : nonchalance


Insouciance. Remember when it was so easy to be nonchalant? These days, we are all so flustered by the turbulent bustle of day-to-day living, that we often forget that it is okay to be INSOUCIANT for a few minutes. Those short moments should be spent tapping into our boundless imaginations and dreaming of superheroes, magic, monsters, laser beams, aliens, and epic battles.
