WORD DAILY Word of the Day: * contretemps *
contretemps
ˈkäntrəˌtôm(p)
“My sister and I would always have a contretemps over who could use the shower first in the morning, so I started showering at night.”
“No need for a contretemps — you can have my seat.”
“It’s such a contretemps that the game had a rain delay.”
French, late 17th century
This French loanword comes from the exciting world of fencing. Translated from French, it means “motion out of time,” with “contre-” meaning “against” and “temps” meaning “time.” In the 17th century, it originally denoted a thrust made at an inopportune moment. Today, the noun is used for a minor squabble, or an unexpected and unfortunate occurrence. If you find yourself with an épée (a fencing sword) in your hands, try to avoid any sense of contretemps.
