Valetudinarian... "what?"

the fun of learning new words

I love learning new words from my Mac screensaver every day. I first saw this word and thought valedictorian. A word I know. But no it wasn’t. It was my brain playing tricks with me. As usual.

val·e·tu·di·nar·i·an

valetudinarian

noun

a person of a weak or sickly constitution;

a person who is unduly anxious about their health

adjective

showing undue concern about one's health

Anyway. Moving on from there. Next, I thought, it sounds like the word is describing me. As in my basket of health issues. But am I anxious about my health or just drained to take my diseases on and keep fighting them? Hmmm.
