Word of the Day

Federal
a. from Latin Faedus, a league, allied perhaps to Eng. wed, Sax. weddian
1. Pertaining to a league or contract, derived from an agreement or covenant between parties, particularly between nations.
2. Consisting in a compact between parties, particularly and chiefly between states or nations; founded on alliance by contract or mutual agreement.

and so forth....

Yesterday morning during Bible study, we came across this word and discussed at length it's meaning and the misuse of it today in our government.

-Noah Webster Dictionary 1828

-Kressant
