Vocabularium

This is yet another entry based on something I used recently…

ligneous (lig·ne·ous): / LIG nee uhs /
adjective

(1) of or resembling wood; woody

[From Latin ligneus meaning “of wood,” from lignum meaning “wood.”]

Usage: [via] I stood suspended in air by wooden beams stretching before me like an ancient causeway meant to hold together both earth and water, a ligneous clasp erected such that humans could walk upon the water yet never touch it, and I cradled myself in the embrace of wind heated by fire from the sun.
