Dictionary Word of the Day

It's been a long time since I've read my daily dictionary words and found one I had never heard before. Anybody ever heard of or read (or used!) the word chary?

Word of the Day for Wednesday August 16, 2006

chary \CHAIR-ee\, adjective:
1. Wary; cautious.
2. Not giving or expending freely; sparing.

I must admit I've never heard, read, or used this word but I have used the word Chairy:


I would be very chary about sitting in Chairy, wouldn't you?
