Dow recovers to close down 370 after plunging 800 (AP)

Traders work on the New York Stock Exchange floor, Monday Oct. 6, 2008. Wall Street tumbled again Monday, joining a sell-off around the world as fears grew that the financial crisis will cascade through economies globally despite bailout efforts by the U.S. and other governments. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)AP - Wall Street suffered through another extraordinary and traumatic session Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials plunging as much as 800 points — their largest one-day point drop — before recovering to close with a loss of 370. The catalyst for the selling, which also took the Dow below 10,000 for the first time in four years, was investors' growing despair that the spreading credit crisis will take a heavy toll around the world.

agrarian
\uh-GRAIR-ee-un\
adjective

of or relating to fields or lands or their tenure



of, relating to, or characteristic of farmers or their way of life

organized or designed to promote agricultural interests

Example Sentence
Since buying their organic farm three years ago, Ken and Sheila have been gradually adjusting to an agrarian lifestyle. Today, an acre is generally considered to be a unit of land measuring 43,560 square feet (4,047 square meters). Before that standard was set, it's believed that an acre represented a rougher measurement -- the amount of land that could be plowed in one day with a yoke of oxen. Both "acre" and today's word, "agrarian," derive from the Latin noun "ager" and the Greek noun "agros," meaning "field." (You can probably guess that "agriculture" is another descendant.) "Agrarian," first used in English in the 17th century, describes things pertaining to the cultivation of fields, as well as the farmers who cultivate them.

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
Those who do not feel pain seldom think that it is felt.

Johnson (1709-1784) English Author
