The tutor brings up a word discovery.

Not often does a word catch my eye. However, thumbing through my Collins Essential Canadian English Dictionary recently, I noticed the word sedulous.

I can’t remember hearing sedulous or seeing it in print. Being in a rush that moment, I remembered the word and looked it up later. Here is its meaning:

sedulous (adj): persistent; tirelessly working towards a goal.

Since sedulous seems to be a complimentary term, one might expect to hear it more often:)
