Favorite word

Pick one of your favorite words--it can be your favorite for any reason--because of the way it sounds, because you like the definition, or even because it's a really good Scrabble word (like xebec!)

Write or type the word in a decorative fashion (or cross-stitch, paint, etc.) and its definition. Include a brief note on why you like it--and if you like it because it's a good Scrabble word, tell us how many points it's worth!
