lachrymose



lachrymose
(adj)

(lak-ruh-mohs)

"given to weeping,teary"


This clue appeared in a crossword that I was doing last week, and while I had read it before I had never really known what it meant or how to pronounce it.

 I do like the sound of it.


"Went and saw it last week. I was lachrymose during some emotional scenes - especially the one when she walks out of the water."

(To a friend who asked me if I had seen Love is All You Need.)
