Glitch

Glitch. Weird word. Harsh sounds. The opposite of melliflous. What is the opposite of melliflous, anyway?

It means mistake or bug, as in a computer bug, not an insect. It says malfunction or snag in my dictionary. But no etymology. I'll get back to you on that.

If I turn in a report late, I blame it on a computer glitch. They make for convenient excuses.
