Tense

Today's Word "frisson"
Moment of intense excitement
frisson \free-SOHN\ (noun) - A moment of intense excitement; a shudder; an emotional thrill.

"While Carol loved the frisson of watching movies where hapless ladies became victims through no fault of their own, she hated to think about what she might do should she actually find herself in such a situation."

Frisson comes from the French, from Old French fricon, "a trembling," ultimately from Latin frigere, "to be cold."
