Word of the Day

Pedigree (noun)

Pronunciation: ['ped-ê-gree]

Definition: A record of ancestral lineage or the line of ancestors itself of man or beast; a distinguished lineage.

Usage: Today's term is used today mostly in connection with animal breeds. The adjective is pedigreed "having a pedigree." Purchasing a pedigreed schnauzer guarantees that there are no traces of non-schnauzer blood in the acquisition.

Suggested Usage: In modern times money, rather than lineage, determines social order, so "pedigree" is used most frequently in humorous contexts: "Fiona went to Europe to acquire a pedigree: she married penniless duke in Albania." The word substitutes for "history" or "background" when you wish to emphasize the positive, "Milton has a sterling pedigree in marketing; he has worked at two Fortune 500 companies and increased sales at both."

Etymology: From Old French ped de gru "foot of (a) crane" (modern French "pied de la grue"). The crane's foot resembles the /|\ markings of genealogical trees. The French grue "crane" descended into Germanic languages with an [n] as Old English cran "crane" found in "cranberry," "crane," krawan "to crow," Middle Dutch kronen "groan," borrowed by English as "croon," and Middle English curre "cur," probably from Old Norse kurra "growl." "Geranium" comes from the same root via Greek geranos "crane."
