magniloquent
magniloquent
[mag-nil-uh-kwuhnt]
adjective: speaking or expressed in a lofty or grandiose style; boastful
Explanation
Someone who's magniloquent tends to speak in grand, elaborate language, often when simpler words would do just fine. This kind of speech might show up in ceremonial addresses or dramatic storytelling meant to heighten the moment. The word comes from Latin, literally meaning "to speak greatly." Speak with confidence, but watch out for becoming too magniloquent.
Example: The governor's magniloquent speech used many fancy words but failed to address the actual problem.
