*Dolorous <http://t.pm0.net/s/c?4c.cj8t.2.8qpe.296z>*  (*adjective*)

*Pronunciation:*  ['do-lê-rês]

*Definition:* Mournful, causing or expressing grief.

*Usage:* The noun is dolor or dolour (British).

*Suggested Usage:* This is a term to use in place of "sorrowful" or "sad"
when you wish to speak in a higher register: "The dolorous atmosphere in the
house made wittiness awkward" or "The dolorous expression on her face
bespeaks a recent tragedy in her life." (A linguistic register is a level of
sophistication, e.g. the difference in your speech when talking to your boss
versus talking about him in the local tavern.)

*Etymology:* Latin dolorosus from dolor "pain, grief" from dolere "to suffer
pain."
