The 2009 Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year list is based on actual user lookups to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and Online Thesaurus. This year's traffic was generated by topics and events ranging from Michael Jackson to H1N1 to the recession and, of course, politics.
The word of the year that received the highest intensity of searches over the shortest period of time is 'admonish.' Second was 'emaciated' and third was 'empathy.'
