Default Re: OT- Word of the day.

It looks like I have failed in my duties of late; my purpose being to bump this thread. So here goes a word that just had me stumbled in a crossword.

Lodestar (prounounced as "lode"+"star" I gather). Noun.

1) A star used as a point of reference, especially Polaris.
2) By extension, a guiding principe or interest.
