Word of the Day for Monday March 14, 2005
nimiety \nih-MY-uh-tee\, noun:
The state of being too much; excess.
What a nimiety of ... riches have we here! I am quite
undone.
--James J. Kilpatrick, "Buckley: The Right Word,"
[1]National Review, December 23, 1996
Just as daily life contains all the comforts of what one
owns, there is also a natural shedding or forgetting and a
natural dulling, otherwise one becomes burdened with a
sense of nimiety, a sense (as Kenneth Clark put it in his
autobiography) of the "too-muchness" of life.
--Nicholas Poburko, "Poetry, Past And Present: F. T.
Prince's Walks in Rome," Renascence: Essays on Values in
Literature, January 1, 1999
