The Word of the Day for April 3 is:

timeless   \TYME-luss\   adjective
     1 : having no beginning or end : eternal 
    *2 : not restricted to a particular time or date  
     3 : not affected by time : ageless 

Example sentence: 
     Fashion experts agree that the little black dress worn 
with a strand of pearls is timeless.

Did you know?
     "Time is money." "Time is the great physician." "Time is a 
dressmaker specializing in alterations." Everyone seems to know 
what time is, but what does it mean to be "timeless" -- that 
is, "without time"? At one time (the 16th-19th 
centuries), "timeless" meant "out of its proper time, untimely, 
premature." In the course of time (by the 17th century), the 
word came to mean "eternal; lasting through all time." The two 
modern senses given in our definition were added just in time 
for the 20th century. (By the way, the quotations we started 
with came from Benjamin Franklin, British statesman Benjamin 
Disraeli, and American writer Faith Baldwin, respectively.)
