hamartia

Pronounced: hah-mahr-TEE-uh, noun

Notes: This word was interesting to me


Yesterday’s word

The word agathokakological means “made up of both good and evil”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1800s

Background / Comments

As I noted yesterday, I didn’t have any idea of the meaning; however, after I read the definition, I looked at the word again, and I could see the background. Our word came from the Greek words agathos (good) and kakos (bad).
