Apricity

These humicubrations, the nocturnal irorations, and the dankishness of the atmosphere, generated by a want of apricity, were extremely febrifacient.

Don't you love words? Especially those that are discovered when looking for a particular expression of an image. This, found only in the Oxford English Dictionary and no longer in use, seemed perfect for what I sought. "Apricity" (noun): the warmth of the sun on a winter day. The quote provided above should provide a clear illustration and further illumination on the proper use of this perfectly descriptive word....;-))
