Words from Todays Newspaper: Word#4 of the day: ZEITGEIST Each party has enough unruly candidates who put their foot in their mouth, embarrass the party and provide commentators with easy material to discern the historical zeitgeist. [The sentence given above has been taken from todays newspaper (dated: April 5, 2014)]. Zeitgeist is a word that comes straight from German — zeit means ‘time’ and geist means ‘spirit’, and the ‘spirit of the time’ is whats going on culturally, religiously, or intellectually during a certain period. Whatever seems particular to or symbolic of a certain time is likely part of its Zeitgeist. The word was first used in 1835. An example that will explain the meaning better is - His songs perfectly captured the zeitgeist of 1960s America. Interested in CLs products, to know more check here: bit.ly/1mtyHYR
