This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
Pronounced: (bly-th)
Adjective:
1. carefree and happy and lighthearted
2. lacking or showing a lack of due concern
From Vocabulary.com: “The adjective blithe used to mean happy and carefree, but over time it has also come to describe someone who isn’t paying attention the way they should.”
Example:
“With blithe disregard for my advice, the buyer waived the home inspection and only discovered serious maintenance issues when it was too late.”
