Stillicide

from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day

Stillicide is a noun that refers to a continual dripping. The Latin prefix S-T-I-L-L-A means ‘drop,’ while the Latin word cedere (say DARE ay) means ‘fall.’ The stillicide of raindrops onto my window put me to sleep very quickly. A continual drip against a hard surface does that to me every time.
