It’s a Noun
ah-PRIS-i-tee
The warmth of the sun in winter.
It’s easy to forget that winter days can hold a distinct, crisp beauty. APRICITY captures that exact, fleeting feeling of standing outside on a freezing afternoon and feeling the genuine heat of the sun hit your face. It’s an old, forgotten word from the 1600s that deserves a modern comeback.
“We cut our mountain hike short, choosing instead to sit on the porch and enjoy the pure apricity of the afternoon.”
“Even in the dead of January, a sudden pocket of apricity made the afternoon walk feel like early spring.”
APRICITY stems from the Latin word apricari, which literally translates to “to bask in the sun.”
