I believe that this term describes those types of situations or actions, which deserve praise, commendation for excellence of thought, etc.

New Word (it's cousin, perhaps???) -->>>>> Valorous

Ha Ha!!!! Would you believe that the first time I ever heard this word was in the movie My Girl ???? Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis .....while having their 4th of July picnic in the yard behind the mortuary family home???? Her ex husband shows up and Dan and her ex have an massive brouhaha, in fact he uses this term to describe their fight. I LOVE that movie so much.....I've got the DVD on my dining room table.

YOu have an AMAZINGLY very large vocabulary......by chance are you an national puzzle solving champion????

I've never heard of that word, so when I looked it up I found out it was of LATIN origin.... (COLLETTE digs Latin words!):

Primarily it means that an voice or an delivery of speech might be a time or place where we actually hear an deep resonance of vocalizations....that is an awkward explanation, but as an example, think of the voice of Walter Cronkite and you've got orotundity ....

If by chance you have watched Larry Crowne (Tom hanks & Julia Roberts movie), you'll get a great example of this as Tom Hanks builds his repertoire for speech delivery or even so, you'll crack up watching George Takei in his role as an economics professor, hee hee hee

New Word (because it sounds similar): Rotunda
