Today's word is euphemism, spelled E-U-P-H-E-M-I-S-M.

Euphemism is a noun that means the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant, also the expression so substituted. Here is the word used in a sentence by Felicity Cloake in The New Statesman.

"Jane Grigson is sometimes described as 'the food writer's food writer,' which is probably a euphemism for 'the food writer all other food writers would secretly like to be.' I'm sure I'm not alone in the wide-eyed admiration and green-eyed envy with which I read her work."

The word euphemism derives from the Greek word euphemos, which means "auspicious, sounding good." The first part of that root is the Greek prefix eu-, meaning "good." The second part is phēmē, a Greek word for "speech" that is itself a derivative of the verb phanai, meaning "to speak." Among the numerous linguistic cousins of euphemism on the eu- side of the family are eulogy, euphoria, and euthanasia; on the phanai side, its kin include prophet and aphasia which means loss of the power to understand words.
