American Oxford Thesaurus

limn

limn verb literary 1 his earlier works limned violence: describe, portray, depict, illustrate. 2 he created striated forms limned with bold black contour lines: highlight, adorn, embellish, paint, illuminate, suffuse. WORD NOTE limn This is the phoniest word in the critic's vocabulary, aside from luminous to describe a writer's prose (and usually rather gushy prose at that ). People are unsure of limn ’ s pronunciation, uncertain of its actual meaning, and generally pretentious when they use it. Most of the time journalists resort to limn because they want something fancier than describe. Yet while describe slips smoothly by without calling much attention to itself, limn jumps off the page to strut about and show off. It's one of those words that want to be urbane and debonair but are somehow really ugly, pushy, and nouveau riche. But maybe I'm going out on a limb by saying that. So let's just call limn fundamentally, almost viscerally, rebarbative. — MD Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
