:: word-of-the-intermittent-time-period ::

{ you will use this word all the time. way all the time. it's crazy how, when you apply yourself, occasions to use this word become proliferate. now, granted, it may be a stretch ("I'm so glad you finally broke up with that glozing knave"), but if you are dedicated, you will find a way. } 

gloze: to explain away 

     archaic (whatever): deceit; gloss over; cover up
     verb, from old french gloser

pronunciation: (gloe-z)


"Long with his dagger's hilt he played, then raised his haughty brow, and said: 'Short be my speech: -- nor time affords, nor my plain temper, glozing words.' "*

     sir walter scott

*it is an adjective in this case. but you get the point, right?
