Word of the Day!!

jugulate (JOOH gyuh late) vb. To jugulate someone is to cut his throat or strangle him, both rather unpleasant procedures and obviously related (etymologically, not sociologically) to the jugular vein. But the word has a figurative and much more merciful use: to check or suppress by drastic measures, usually applied in medical parlance to the treatment of diseases. One case might be the amputation of an affected part, often the leg. Putting a gag in the mouth of a logorrhea sufferer would be less drastic, but might do the trick. Juguglate comes from Latin jugulatus, past participle of jugulare (to cut the throat of), based on jugulum (throat).
