diatriba
  17

It is a repetitive recriminating and violent speech. In its Greek origins it had a wider use since it included useful nonsense talk and rant, to waste time. Its etymology comes from 948; 953; 945; ( day "between, through" ) 964; 961; 953; 946; 969; ( triboo "rub, wear" ) . [Note: Virginia's confusion surely comes from some mistranslation associated with Latin trivialis that had a double meaning of "crossroads" and "irrelevant talk" that later related to multiple choice. See trivia, trivial.

  

* Only one "like" per meaning and day, the more "likes" the meaning will appear higher in the list
