Word of the Day 8/10/13

Incipient (adjective)
in·cip·i·ent [in-sip-ee-uhnt]


adjective
beginning to exist or appear; in an initial stage: an incipient cold.

Synonyms
beginning, nascent, developing.

Origin: 1580–90; < Latin incipient- (stem of incipiens, present participle of incipere to take in hand, begin), equivalent to in- in- + -cipi- (combining form of capi- take) + -ent- -ent

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
