Breakout!

Today's Word "recrudescent"
Breaking out again after temporary abatement

recrudescent \ree-kroo-DES-uhnt\ (adjective) - Breaking out again after temporary abatement or suppression; as, a recrudescent epidemic.

"Jenna's recrudescent acne had a tendency to make its appearance at the most inconvenient of times, such as when she had a date or public appearance."

Recrudescent derives from the present participle of Latin recrudescere, "to bleed again, hence to break out again," from re-, "again" + crudescere, from crudus, "bleeding, raw."

  1. Hi Nikki,

    Do you remember where you found this image? The model goes by the name Iveta on met-art and she is stunningly beautiful, but I have never seen her do anything this edgy before. I would love to track the down where the picture came from so I could get the whole series.

    Thanks for your help.

    Love your blog.
