Word of the week: Pulchritude

Pulchritude (noun)
[pul-chri-tude]

It seems like such an ugly looking word but it means the opposite. The Macquarie Dictionary defines it as “beauty” or “comeliness”. So you might say: “The actress Robin Wright is a woman of great pulchritude.”

Listen to Valerie and Allison chat more about this and more on the world of writing, blogging and publishing.
