Ostentatious
Manage episode 348017278 series 2492929
Ostentatious is an adjective that means characterized by vulgar or pretentious display.
Our word of the day comes from the Latin word ostentare (OS ten TAR ay) which means ‘to show or display.’ Entering English in the mid 15th century, our word of the day is often used to describe the tendency to show or display one’s wealth a little too much.
For my tastes, Jill can get a little showy when it comes to decorating her home. I mean, it’s one thing to have one’s walls covered in fancy wallpaper, but having your dog’s house wallpapered is downright ostentatious.
