Word of the Week, Round 5!

It’s Tuesday, and by now I’m sure you all know what that means…  We are about to learn a completely useless, totally random word!  Yay!

Thanks again Carleton College…

affable \A-fuh-bul\ (adjective)

*1. Being pleasant and at ease in talking to others

2. Characterized by ease and friendliness

Example Sentence:

"Miss Wilson was as affable and courteous as heart could wish, and though I was in no very conversable humor myself, the two ladies between them managed to keep up a pretty continuous fire of small talk." (Anne Bronte, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall)
