We have today an awesome favorite word of mine..i simply like the sound of it and it has awesome meanings.
Hear hear !!
Well this word has some awesome meanings and definitions.
-it means (of an animal) having all normal physical functions suspended or slowed down for a period of time, like being in a deep sleep synonym with "asleep" "slumbering" "comatose" etc
-it means (of a plant) alive but not growing
-it means (of a volcano) temporarily inactive
-it means (of a disease) causing no symptoms but not cured and liable to come back
-and sometimes it's referring to an animal depicted as lying with it's head on its paws
The word dormant comes from Middle English , in the senses "fixed in position" and also "latent" , from Old French dormir, also from Latin dormiēns.
First known use was around 1500 referring to a resting situation, only in 1620 , people start using it for sleeping.
I'll end this post with a quote from one of Jay-Z's songs...
Thank you and apologize for being a little late for today's word. I was a little dormant..
