Word of the Week

So I'm sat here again... I'm usually sat here... but I've realized that I have no done a word of the week in awhile. So I've decided to look up a word and it's the most random word. It's so random I don't think I'll ever get around to using it. But you never know!

So here it is:

Atrophy - Noun

1. Pathology. a wasting away of the body or of an organ or part, as from defective nutrition or nerve damage. (Refer to picture... I didn't want to use a real arm. It's really gross).

2. degeneration, decline, or decrease, as from disuse: He argued that there was a progressive atrophy of freedom and independence of thought.

verb (used with object), verb (used without object)
3. to affect with or undergo atrophy
