Welcome to another weird and wonderful installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Keep your mind running like a finely-tuned machine with life-long learning. Now let's grease the wheels with the Word of the Week:
Monition [mo-NI-shun] (noun) : a warning; a caution -- "The New York Times Everyday Reader's Dictionary of Misunderstood, Misused, Mispronounced Words", Laurence Urdang, Ed., The New York Times Book Company, 1972.
Example: The private who ignored the captain's monition about the munition dump of his own volition soon experienced an alteration in constitution.
