A.Word.A.Day
Today's word from AWAD website:
adit (AD-it) noun
1. Access; entrance; admission.
2. A nearly horizontal passage leading into a mine.
[From Latin aditus (approach, entrance), from adire (to approach), from ire (to go). Ultimately from Indo-European root ei- (to go) that is also the ancestor of words such as exit, transit, circuit, itinerary, and obituary.]
