SERVILE - Steemit word of the day

ser·vile

sərvəl,ˈsərˌvīl

Realizing that Steemit is an international platform with users possessing varying degrees of proficiency in the English language, I thought it would be helpful to the Steemit community to regularly highlight an English word that may prove useful and applicable to their Steemit experience. English is a very expressive language. According to the Oxford English Dictionary modern English utilizes 171,476 words. Today’s word, servile, is only one of them, but fret not, I will be posting many more useful words, so stay tuned logophiles and vebivores!
