Return of Fancy Word of the Day

Last night I realized that I haven’t posted a new Fancy Word of the Day in ages. So, to celebrate the several fires around the Provo area that are making it literally rain ash, I present to you today’s word:

Tenebrous (n.) – obscure, dark, gloomy. This word comes from TENEBRAE in Latin, which means “shadows”.

Ex: The tenebrous sky was a harbinger of the impending apocalypse.

Note: The pronunciation of this word is TEH-neh-brus, not tuh-NEE-brus. You will now sound like you know what you're talking about when you use this word. You're welcome.
