Today's Word "ablution"

ablution \uh-BLOO-shun\ (noun) - 1 : The act of washing or cleansing; specifically, the washing of the body, or some part of it (as in a religious rite). 2 : The water used in cleansing.

"He went straight to the loo to begin his usual ablutions, soaping his cheeks and neck." -- Brooks Hansen, 'Perlman's Ordeal'

Ablution comes from Latin ablutio, from abluere, "to wash, to remove by washing, to wash away," from ab-, "away from" + luere, "to wash."
