Word of the Day for Saturday, August 29, 2009chary \CHAIR-ee\, adjective: 1. Wary; cautious. What do you suppose the Founding Fathers, so chary of overweening government power, would make of a prosecutor with virtually unlimited reach and a staff the size of a small town? Investors should be chary, however, for the returns are far from sizzling. Bankers, consulted as to whether or not they believed that the full force of the decline had spent its fury, were chary of predictions. Chary comes from Old English cearig, "careful, sorrowful," from cearu, "grief, sorrow, care." | |||||||||
