[Alolan_Apples]

It’s time for another word of the day. Yesterday’s word was parochial. Today’s word is:

Ambivalent​

Definition:

Pronunciation:

am’bivələnt

Meaning:

Having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone.

Etymology:

It comes from the Latin prefix Ambi-, meaning “both”, and the suffix -valent, which derived from valence, meaning “value”.

Examples of being ambivalent:

• You like fattening foods, except for the fact that they make you fatter.
• You wouldn’t take sides in an argument, but you believe both points are valid.

Examples of not being ambivalent:

• You hate everything offered in a restaurant menu.
• There are no tints, shades, or tones of a particular color you hate at all.
