Today's word is tantamount, spelled T-A-N-T-A-M-O-U-N-T.
Here's the word used in a sentence from the Boston Globe.
Tantamount is an adjective.
Conducting requires more than merely gesturing with a baton.
Something may be described as tantamount to something else if it is equal in value, meaning, or effect.
Some pieces of music are tantamount to 80 minutes of hard cardio.
Although the word tantamount from the Anglo-French phrase,
meaning to amount to as much, was used three different ways in the early 1600s as a noun,
verb, and adjective, the adjective form has since proven paramount to English users.
It's still in use while the noun and verb are obsolete.
This is not to say that the adjective hasn't experienced change over the years.
