Welcome to another illuminating installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! This is the last Word of the Week of the year, but don't worry, there will be more celebrations of verbage to come in 2011. And the last Word of 2010 is:
Nadir:
1: the point of the celestial sphere that is directly opposite the zenith and vertically downward from the observer
2: the lowest point
"nadir", http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nadir , 12/19/2010
Example: The nadir of Steven's year was the day that he got fired from his job, was pulled over for running a red light on his way home and ended up in jail on an outstanding warrant for unpaid parking tickets. "From here on out, things can only get better," he mused as he waited for his wife to post his bail.
