Infelicitous

Infelicitous is an adjective that means unfortunate or inappropriate.  The Latin word Felix (FAY licks) means ‘happy.’ Coming from Late Middle English, our word of the day has undergone some changes, but still basically means ‘unhappy’ or ‘unfortunate.’ Here’s an example: In spite of the infelicitous results, I’m glad I decided to start cutting my own hair. The money I’ve saved on barbers is well worth the price I’ve had to pay in stupid-looking haircuts.
