Even though I didn’t get a chance to post any words of the week last week, I’m still only going to post five words.  I’ve exhausted my list! Here are this week’s words:

1. Virtu: excellence or merit in objects of art, curios, and the like.
2. Vitiate: to impair the quality of; make faulty; spoil.
3. Vituperate: to use or address with harsh or abusive language; revile.
4. Vivify: to give life to; animate; quicken.
5. Zeitgeist: the spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time.
