P is For Paean
Day 16 of the A To Z Challenge is here (yes I know it's the 18th April but you don't count the Sundays in April).
And with it - the letter P.
So today's word is:
paean (pee-an) n literary an expression of praise or joy [Greek paian hymn to Apollo]
I'm pretty sure that I've never heard of this word before... or if I had heard it I'm pretty sure I didn't know what it actually meant.
See you tomorrow.

Funny that, it came up in a crossword yesterday and although I was quite familiar with the word, I couldn't remember exactly how to spell it.
