Today’s “Word of the Day” is thorn and it is a noun meaning “an irritating/annoying thing; something which causes difficulty/discomfort” (thorns are generally the sharp points on some plants/trees; sharp-pointed prickles on a rose plant’s stems are “small thorns”).
Example Sentence: A pioneer often has a path of thorns to negotiate. The trail they blaze makes it easier for those that follow.
