Welcome to another outrageous installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! It's a new year, and time for a look at a new word to slip into your vocabulary. And the first Word of the Week of 2011 is:
Illicit -- (adjective) not permitted; unlawful
“illicit”, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/illicit , 12/30/10
Example: Tom's illicit use of the computer at his desk to play on-line games during work hours was noted by the administrator and resulted in his transfer to the maintenance department.
