Mellifluous

The OED gives these definitions for mellifluous:
1) "Flowing with, exuding, or containing honey or a honey-like substance; of the nature of or resembling honey; sweetened with or as with honey. Now rare. "
2) "Of a speaker, writer, etc.: sweet-sounding; fluent; (later also) smoothly eloquent, charmingly persuasive. "

I chose this word because I love the fact that it is applied to speech and writing. As we all know, the stem flu- comes from Latin and means "flow" while the -ous suffix means full of. The part we do not know, the mell- comes from Latin and means "honey." Some when someone's speech or writing is mellifluous, it is flowing with honey. I'd like to strive toward possessing that attribute in my speech.
