Word: gravitational wave Part of Speech: noun Pronunciation: /ˌɡɹæ.vəˈteɪ.ʃə.nəl weɪv/ 1. A fluctuation in spacetime caused by accelerating mass, which propagates as a wave at the speed of light.

[…] The heart that ne'er quailed on the war-path / Turns to stone at the name of the Wendigo. Example: The Windigo is a flesh-eating, wintry demon with a man buried deep inside of it.
