Lamprophony (noun): Clear enunciation
There's no trace of lamps, pros, or phonies in this word's definition. If
you know that -phony means sound, you might
guess that lamprophony is the sound of lampreys. (Do they even make
noise?) But no, lamprophony turns out to be a rather boring word that means
clear enunciation. (The Greek root lampro- means
clear or distinct.)
