Today's Word "robustious"
"O, it offends me t the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise." -- William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
Robustious derives from Latin robustus, "oaken, hence strong, powerful, firm," from robur, "oak."
