Avid Plus

I like the word avid. It means passionate, or animated, characterized by enthusiasm or greed (avaricious). From Latin or French.

I have been nonplussed for several weeks now, after learning that nonplussed means speechless or astonished. I had been misinformed or misled, but I think I understand it now. It comes from Latin from non plus, which means no more.
