Today's Word "capacious"

capacious \kuh-PAY-shuhs\ (adjective) - Able to contain much; roomy; spacious.

"Reuben was astonished. He'd had a friend in high school who could stuff his own fist all the way into his mouth. But Ponter's mouth went back so far and was so capacious, he probably could have stuffed in not just his fist but a third of his forearm as well." -- Robert J. Sawyer, 'Hominids'

Capacious is derived from Latin capax, capac-, "able to hold or contain."
