albatross \AL-buh-traws; AL-buh-tros\, noun:

1. Any of several large, web-footed sea birds of the family Diomedeidae that have the ability to remain aloft for long periods.
2. A seemingly inescapable moral or emotional burden, as of guilt or responsibility.
3. Something burdensome that impedes action or progress.

The pressure is hardly off. It's just as much pressure as it has been, it's just without the albatross of bankruptcy hanging over it.
-- Robert Mann
That's something that's going to be an albatross for us throughout the remainder of the year. What do you do? How do you fix it? It's going to be an issue but we've got to get better in other areas so it's not the issue that's going to cost us games.
-- Andy Kennedy
They thought they were putting an albatross around my neck. Little did they know they were building me a life raft.
-- Ken Blackwell

Albatross originated around 1675â€"85 as probably an alteration (influenced by Latin albus, white) of alcatras, pelican and from Portuguese or Spanish alcatraz.

Word of the Day for Saturday, May 2, 2009

senescent \si-NES-uhnt\, adjective:

Growing old; aging.

During summer, when there is no rain for months, the forests become littered with dry senescent leaves and twinges, which could burst into flames ignited by the slightest spark.
-- Dr. Nitish Priyadarshi, The American Chronicle
There is good evidence that senescent cells are not benign. But until now no one has been able to confirm that they exist in appreciable numbers in old animals.
-- John Sedivy
It was a senescent adult whose maximal growth rates were over 2.1 kg per day. Growth flattened out at around 20 years of age, and death occurred in its 29th year. Direct measurements of growth rates of T. rex and three of its closest relatives have been used to generate age/mass growth curves for these animals.
-- Nature

Senescent is from Latin senescere, "to grow old," from senex, "old."
