Word of the Day for Monday, September 8, 2008cosmopolite \koz-MOP-uh-lyt\, noun: 1. One who is at home in every place; a citizen of the world; a cosmopolitan person. At first, Audubon made comparatively little impression in America, but he was an immediate success in Britain, where he presented himself alternately as a rustic backwoodsman and a sophisticated cosmopolite. He was a big-city sophisticate and moved easily in international film circles but, like his exact contemporary, the Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima (also a globetrotting cosmopolite), Pasolini rejected the glossy consumer culture that had made him famous in favor of the standards of an earlier, more rigid and more traditional society. Behind the professional caution is a figure of storied warmth and charm, an American-educated cosmopolite as comfortable in the Midwest as in the Middle East. Cosmopolite comes from Greek kosmopolites, from kosmos, "world" + polites, "citizen," from polis, "city." | |||||||||
