Dolor - a podcast by Word of the Day

Dolor is a noun that refers to anguish or grief.

Our word of the day comes from the Latin word dolere (doe LAIR ay) which means ‘to grieve’ or ‘feel pain.’ The basic meaning of dolor has remained much the same after evolving into the English word dolor.

After that big defeat of the Red Sox, I was inconsolable. The dolor from that game has stayed with me for many years.
