Today’s “Word of the Day” is “rapture” and it is an adjective meaning “(extreme) pleasure, happiness, excitement, joy, delight, ecstasy, elation, bliss, euphoria”.
Example Sentence: Ponniyin Selvan — unfairly as some fans think — was a grossly underrated epic. In truth, it was an expansive narration of Chola history that never got its due in the world. The novel dwells extensively on the conspiracy to assassinate the crown princes of Sundara Cholan, the events that followed, and the eventual succession of the second son Arulmozhi Varman, who was to achieve everlasting fame as Raja Raja Chola 1. It certainly had every reader wrapped around its five volumes in rapture.
