#90: afebrile

a child afebrile
throughout the whole flu season
is a true blessing

I like this word because it seems more positive somehow. It isn't an "un-" or a "dis-" or an "anti-" prefixed word. "A-" does mean without, but it doesn't have that distinct presence. Do you know what I mean?

This seems useful as well. I think I'll start using phrases like "I'm awork," or "I'm afood" when I'm hungry... and confuse the heck out of everyone.

DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adjective:

without fever; feverless.
