Word: Usona Part of Speech: name Etymology: An acronym of the United States of North America, a 19th-century name for the United States of America, variously attributed to "a St. Louis professor" or "a Canadian, James P.

S. of A.), a land that looked like a lost land to us two years ago, was our biggest buyer, says a local expert.

Much original work has doubtless been done by American pharmacists engaged in the production of the new national medicine-book, but the volume is, nevertheless, best described as an excellent compilation.

Word: Usonia Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Usona (acronym of the United States of North America) + -ia. The word is known today primarily due to the writings of Frank Lloyd Wright, who first used it in 1925. However, it was used (and perhaps coined) by James Law in 1903 (see quotation below), before it is thought Wright was exposed to it. Pronunciation: /juːˈsəʊ.ni.ə/, /juˈsoʊ.ni.ə/ 1. The United States of America; a mononymous name for the country that does not convey the ambiguity of "America". Example: And in Usonia's mighty Lan'— / What almost seems beyond belief— / An offshoot of the Irvine clan / Is honor'd as the nation's chief! We of the United States, in justice to Canadians and Mexicans, have no right to use the title "Americans" when referring to matters pertaining exclusively to ourselves. […] [I] have been inclined to give my vote to the writer that first suggested "Usona", which is formed from the initials of "United States of North America". The assonance of "Usonans", however, has always been distasteful, […] A much more euphonious word is "Usonia" and as it represents in a similar way the "United States of Northern Independent America" […] a dignified name to designate our land, our people and our nation—" Usonia", "Usonian" and "Usonians" sounding equally well. It has also to US Scots the added merit of making a good rhyme to Caledonia, and thus knitting more closely together both Usonians and Caledonians. (dated 18th June, 1903) Example: Sartre may have banked on an irritation with Usonia derived from the conviction that, without Usonian troops, France would not have been liberated. Add to this feeling of inferiority the fact, or rumour, that, for a few months, some sacred Parisian bread was made of corn ordered from Usonia instead of wheat, […] 2. A utopian vision of the United States according to Frank Lloyd Wright. Example: [Wright] also refers to 'the great Usonian Life, the universal life of our own true democracy' and 'the road to Freedom in Usonia'. The association of USA and utopia is inescapable […] 3. A community in New York State designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in his Usonian style. Example: THEY NAMED THEIR COMMUNITY of forty-seven homes near Pleasantville, New York, "Usonia" in homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, whose ideas on the way Americans should live together guided their plan. 4. In geopolitical and international economic modeling, a prototype superpower that, in competing with an antagonistic superpower Russonia (the Soviet Union), allows Thirdonia (a hypothetical neutral Third World country) to extract considerable wealth from both. Labels: rare Example: Suppose two powerful, industrialized countries, called Usonia and Russonia, compete by mean of capital exports and other forms of "aid" for influence in various underdeveloped countries, typified by Thirdonia.

Word: figurately Part of Speech: adv Etymology: Etymology tree English figurate Middle English -ly English -ly English figurately From figurate + -ly. 1. Figuratively, in a figurative manner. Example: It is as when we seek for the signification of any particular word in a language; we may find that it bears many different meanings, and some which seem to be contradictory to each other; yet upon further search we may perhaps discover that there is a common idea, which is the source of them all, and that they differ only because the word is taken in one sense literally, in another figurately, and in a third with some special application. Example: He stood in the centre of that great pile, figurately speaking, the cynosure of all eyes from Maine to California, and his fame was noised abroad in Europe. 2. In a figurate manner; using or forming a figure. Example: As was observed before in Figuration of Surds; so here it may be remembred that any Species simply Irrational, multiplied figurately, produceth a Rational: But Compound Irrational Species may be squared, cubed, etc. by multiplying them figurately as other Figural Numbers are multiplied; but the Unciae to the Parodical Degrees here, will be the Squares of them in Rational Species. Example: In the regulations for Trnava school, which Nicolaus Olahus issued in 1554, we find "The sublector should support a school succentor, who would teach the boys to sing figurately, as well as Gregorian chant."
