Mot du Jour ~ Aujourd'hui

Dec 23
𝐚𝐮𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝'𝐡𝐮𝐢 ~ noun masculine ~
𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: AU-zhor-DWEE ~
This rather long word simply means "today" in French. However, fully translated it means "On the day of today", as the four words:  Au-jour-d'hui.....  In fact, the word "HUI" actually means today (though never said anymore as just one word), much like its Spanish counterpart HOY, both coming from the Latin HODIE for today.  But, this is French, and much more poetic..... 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚........

From the French Larousse dictionary:
(de à le jour d'hui, de l'ancien français hui, le jour où on est, du latin hodie)
