Word of the Day 8/25/13

Cogent (adjective)
co·gent [koh-juhnt]


adjective
1. convincing or believable by virtue of forcible, clear, or incisive presentation; telling.
2. to the point; relevant; pertinent.

Origin: 1650–60; < Latin cōgent- (stem of cōgēns, present participle of cōgere to drive together, collect, compel), equivalent to cōg- ( co- co- + ag-, stem of agere to drive) + -ent- -ent

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