Thread Name: BS: New word for today: puissant
Subject: New word for today: puissant
Always fun to learn a new word! I came across this one recently, numerous times, in some spiritual material I've been reading. It was new to me. What does it mean?

puissant - mighty, powerful, extremely potent.

Can be pronounced 2 ways - pyu-iss-'nt or pwis-s'nt.

It comes originally from French, but is used also in English. How about that, eh? Any comments, Spaw?
