Today’s word of the day is "cacoëthes", which means a showy object of little use or value. - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/caco%C3%ABthes
Did you know: cacoethes is borrowed from Latin cacoēthes, which means a "malignant tumor at an early stage, disease of character." However, the use of the word in the sense "insatiable desire" is largely dependent on an oft-quoted line by the Roman poet and satirist Juvenal, "tenet insanabile multos scribendi cacoethes" ("the incurable disease of writing takes hold of many").
