Wonderful Words - Emacity

2/3/2015

 
I discovered the word emacity while I was wandering around an online dictionary, what can I say, I like words and they tend to lead you down a rabbit hole, one leads you to the next and the next. Wait that's called reading...
Okay, so I spotted emacity and it struck a chord, I'm known in my family for having expensive tastes. I like to think its a sign that I appreciate quality. Hopefully my spending isn't uncontrollable. Unless of course I'm around jewellery, or clothes, or shoes, or craft bits, or kitchen items, or.... Wait a minute...

Emacity

Emacity is an uncontrollable desire or fondness for buying things. It comes from the  Latin word emacitas (fond of buying), from emere (to buy).
