Achromatous: Without color, or having little inadequate color. (adjective)
Word of the week is Achromatous, according to dictionary.com, Achromatous is a word used to describe something with no or a minimal amount of color. I encountered this word on September 11th, while reading a short story called, Brave We Are by Tahira Naqvi, I knew what every word meant in the reading until I came across achromatous in paragraph 13. I read the words that came before and after this word to see if I figure out what it meant before actually searching up the real definition. “when the tones on its canvas, and dark to melanchony” were the phrases that helped me figure out that achromatous might have something to do with describing color. I believed that the women in this story used this word to describe Connecticut’s environment color when the seasons changed. I than, searched up the real meaning, and I was correct. I know understood what achromatous meant, and I now know a new word that can be added to my conversations.
