I consider myself a life-long learner--or at least a person trying to improve my brain which otherwise went unfilled during elementary school daydreams. (“Little Guy? Little Guy? Hello…Earth to Little Guy.”)
Merriam-Webster emails me each morning a new “word of the day.” It’s like learning the dictionary one-word-at-a-time. Today’s word struck a credit union tone:
collegium • \kuh-LEG-ee-um\ • noun
: a group in which each member has approximately equal power and authority
Example Sentence:
Each paper published by the journal has been approved by a collegium of scientists.
Credit unions are not-for-profit, democratically controlled cooperatives, where each member gets an equal say--no matter how much money he or she has in the place.
So if the word fits, wear it.
