Scintilla

Filed Under S 

A word meaning “a very small amount; a shred,” it comes from the Latin word for “spark” and is often used in the law world to describe evidence. I like it because it is so fun to say, with the smooth hiss at the beginning to the pop in the middle and the end rolls right out afterwards. In addition it is a very useful word.
