Word of the Day: modicum

Modicum is another of my favorite words. According to thefreedictionary.com

the definition is thus:

mod·i·cum  (md-km)n. pl. mod·i·cums or mod·i·ca (-k) A small, moderate, or token amount:

EX: Somewhere in his declaration of love was a modicum of truth. At least, she hoped there was.
