Word to the Wise: Dolorous

By ETR

"Dolorous" (DOH-luh-rus) – from the Latin for "to grieve" – is another way of saying "sorrowful."

Example (as used by Mary Varnham in The Evening Post [New Zealand]): "Climbing out on to a narrow ledge, we waved cheerily at the people passing by on the street below, until my mother was informed of our misdemeanour – by a waitress wickedly known to great-aunt Mary, behind her table napkin, as Sourpuss for her perpetually dolorous expression – and we were lured back inside."

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]

Testimonials

I thought I just went through business school in 300 pages!

I’m a biology major who studied his way to medical school. My last business class was in 6th grade (about ways to save your allowance money).

When I read Michael Masterson’s book, Ready, Fire Aim, I thought I just went through business school in about 300 pages.

Michael, you’ve helped me start my business – and I never thought I could pull it off. Thank you!
