Word #5

Word: lycanthropic (adjective)

Original sentence: "Still the only hit song in history ever to endorse lycanthropic sex." (From the book Talking to Girls About Duran Duran by Rob Sheffield.)

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Definition: (for Lycanthropy - noun) "1. a delusion that one has become a wolf. 2. the assumption of the form and characteristics of a wolf held to be possible by witchcraft and magic."

My sentence: After noticing over a period of several months that my wife would wake up late at night and howl outside every time there was a full moon, it suddenly dawned on me that she was suffering from a bad case of lycanthropy.
