Word of the Day: illapse
What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's...
illapse (noun or verb) [TWITO, page 71]
To fall or glide into, the act of falling or gliding into something
"What moves thee, if the senses stir not? Light/Moves thee from Heaven, spontaneous, self-inform'd;/Or, likelier, gliding down with swift illapse/By will divine."
--Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
Hmm, gliding into something.... I recall driving a Volkswagen on a gusty winter night in upstate New York and gliding off the road into a snowbank. Car, passenger and driver were unharmed in this illapse.
