Word To Use Today: homocentric.

It may be a convenience to visitors to The Word Den to know that the word homocentric means having the same centre, so means the same as concentric.

One might so describe, for instance, the orbits of the planets around the sun.

As this is the case, the description of a reception attended by a particularly handsome actor as homocentric reveals nothing about him except his charisma.


(That's Rupert Everett)

Word To Use Today: homocentric. Homo- means being the same, or being like; -centric means having a centre.
