adjective

of, relating to, or occurring in the daytime

Example Sentence
"I like walking early mornings when the nocturnal wildlife quietly withdraws as the diurnal wildlife noisily rouses for another day." (Kevin J. Cook, Fort Collins Coloradoan, June 29, 2008) Can you guess which of the following words have the same Latin root as our word du jour, "diurnal"?
 A.  journey   B. dial   C. quotidian   D. diary
 E. meridian   F. journal   G. circadian   H. daily
The answer: all of them except "daily" (it's from Old English, not Latin). "Diurnal" and all of the other terms in our little quiz (and "du jour," too) come ultimately from "dies," the Latin word for "day."

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

Time has no divisions to mark its passing. There is never a thunderstorm to announce the beginning of a new month or year.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955) German Novelist and Essayist
