nitid (NIT-id) adjective...Bright; shining; glossy...From Latin nitidus (shining), from nitere (to shine).]...Etymologically speaking, the word "neat" is a cousin of today's word..."The last rays of the sun linger, hanging on to clouds whose bizarre formation is never more apparent, while the evening gently settles in, erasing the nitid contours of objects and people."...Celeste Olalquiaga, The Artificial Kingdom: A Treasury of the Kitsch Experience, Pantheon Books, 1998.

Who originated the phrase "while the nitid's young"???...

i'm wondering, do hear these words then look them up? or do you just look up words randomly? either way, it's interesting...
