Today's Word "gravitas"
gravitas \GRAV-uh-tahs\ (noun) - High seriousness (as in a person's bearing or in the treatment of a subject).
"The speaker was so utterly lacking in gravitas that none of his pronouncements were taken at all seriously, in spite of their actual importance to the group's day-to-day existence."
Gravitas is from the Latin gravitas, "heaviness, seriousness," from gravis, "heavy, serious."
