#clamant

Word: clamant

Pronunciation: \KLAY-munt\

Part of Speech: Adjective

Definition: Clamorous, blatant. Demanding attention; urgent.

Example: Clamant students gathered outside the college president's office, protesting the denial of tenure for the popular professor.

Thoughts: I have never heard of this word before and I actually misread at first, thinking it was "claimant." Anyways, I was surprised at the definition because I thought of the word 'clammy' which is not really related to 'clamant' at all. It's a good word to know, though. I could see it popping up in a reading or perhaps even a good word to use in creative writing.
