Simpatico

Simpatico is an adjective that means having shared characteristics or attributes. 

Our word of the day is a loan word that has been borrowed from Italian since the early 20th century. Here’s an example of it. 

I had a feeling I’d be simpatico with my new neighbors the minute I saw their lawn sign that declared ‘no Yankees fans’ in front of their door. Nothing brings together strangers like a hatred of a sports team.
