Akrasia
Akrasia is a noun that refers to the state of mind in which someone acts against their better judgement. Our word of the day comes from Greek. It combines the prefix A, meaning ‘without’ along with kratos (CRAH toes) which means ‘power’ or ‘strength.’ A person who behaves with akrasia does so without the power of their better judgement. I’m not sure what kind of akrasia came over Devin last week. But when he picked out those weird-looking pants he was clearly acting without his better judgement.
