Today's Word "euphonious"
"At twelve-zero-zero Greewich time I had already been introduced to the Director of the British Museum, whose euphonious and idiotic name was something like Sir Silage Corn." -- Venedikt Erofeev, 'Moscow to the End of the Line'
Euphonious comes from Greek euphonos, "sweet-voiced," from eu-, "well" (hence "sweetly") + phonos, from phone, "voice, sound." The noun form is euphony.
