word of the day

The word for today is…

incommunicado (adverb) – Without the means or right of communicating with others.

Source : The Free Dictionary

Etymology : Incommunicado ultimately comes from Latin but made its way into English via the Spanish incomunicado. We borrowed the word (with a slightly modified spelling) from the past participle of the Spanish verb incomunicar, meaning “to deprive of communication.” The Spanish word, in turn, derives from the Latin prefix in- and the verb communicare, meaning “to communicate.”
