DAY 34 What is that white stuff I see out my window!!

EXCORIATE

verb, to wear off skin of abrade, to censure scathingly

The press excoriated the governor for his state’s sluggish response to the disaster.

“Excoriate,” which first appeared in English in the 15th century, comes from excoriatus, the past participle of the Late Latin ver excoriare, meaning “to strip off the hide.” Excoriare was itself formed from a pairing of the Latin prefix ex-, meaning “out,” and corium, meaning “skin” or “hide” or “leather.” Corium has several other descendants in English. One is “cuirass,” a name for a piece of armor that covers the body from neck to waist (or something that resembles such armor, like bony plates covering an animal). Another is “corium” itself which is sometimes used as a synonym of “dermis” (the inner layer of human skin).

Let's all have a smile and laughter today!
