Word of the Day for Friday, October 10, 2008legerdemain \lej-ur-duh-MAIN\, noun: 1. Sleight of hand. We are inclined to regard the treatment of [paradoxes] . . . as a mere legerdemain of words.

Legerdemain is from Old French leger de main, literally "light of hand": leger, "light" + de, "of" + main, "hand." | |||||||||
