Word for the Day - comedo

"Comedo" is the technical name for a blackhead pimple.  According to Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged, it is derived from New Latin, from a Latin word meaning "glutton," from comedere "to eat."  I'm not entirely clear on what the connection is, but everything I can think of makes me vaguely ill from the associations.

I didn't know this word, and thanks to that horrible, horrible etymology, I suspect I may never forget it.  And now, perhaps, neither will you.

You're welcome.
