word of the day

The word for today is…

gullible (adjective):

: easily duped or cheated

Source : Merriam -Webster

Etymology : You are gullible if you think there is no entry for gullible in the dictionary. It descends from the verb gull, meaning “to deceive or take advantage of.” The verb was borrowed into English from Anglo-French in the mid-16th century. Another relative is the noun gull, referring to a person who is easy to cheat—a word which is unrelated to the familiar word for a seabird, which is of Celtic origin.
