DEMULCENT: adj: soothing
Demulcent dervies from the Latin verb demulcere, meaning "to soothe," which added the prefix de- to the earlier verb mulcere, also meaning "to soothe." As an adjective, "demulcent" often applies to the soothing nature of medicines, but you can use it more broadly to describe things like a soothing melody or a soothing demeanor. The noun "demulcent" is used for a gelatinous or oily substance that is capable of soothing inflamed or abraded mucous membranes and protecting them from further irritation.

I think I may steal your word a day idea, but I will post new words I am learning in foreign languages.
Steal away! I may have to visit your blog everyday than to learn a new word in a new language.
Glad to see someone likes it, I wasn't sure what to think about doing it. I kind of started it figuring this way I would try to post at least once a day.
