Aposematic - a podcast by Word of the Day

Aposematic is an adjective that means serving as a warning or alarm.

The Greek word sema (SEM uh) which refers to ‘a sign,’ provides the origin of our word of the day. Aposematic means a sign of danger or caution.

When Sandra told us the inspector was on his way, nobody paid attention. But looking back those words probably had an aposematic significance.
