alloy • noun and verb
You may have heard of aluminum alloy on a car. What that means is that there is another metal mixed in with the aluminum, to save money and/or to strengthen the wheels. The wheels are an alloy (a mix), rather than pure.
In addition to indicating a dilution of one metal with another, alloy can refer to the dilution of a feeling or a quality. Knowing that you look awesome in your Halloween costume would be an alloy to the embarrassment of showing up to a party where you are the only one in a costume.

Dear Hialeah Gardens High School
ReplyDeleteWord of the day sucks, it is pointless. Why do we have to do extra work in our classes for some futile words. I hate hate how teachers now think school is so easy because it is not. Back in the "stone ages" until 1988 Florida had no F.C.A.T. and more then 75 percent if teacher in Hialeah Gardens High School graduated before 1988. I did this because I want to express my opinion about this abomination.
Thank You
From the Students of Hialeah Gardens High School (SHGHS)
