The next word is widdiful.

As usual, let me have your daffynitions by PM, please.

I seem to be lacking plausible inspiration. I'll try to send something later today.

Isn't it just widdiful that you don't have more daffynitions? Wink

What a widdiful effort, wordcrafters! I've only got three entries so far. More, more ...

<Bump>

Four entries now. An improvement, but still woefully short. Frown

Here are the daffynitions for widdiful:
  1. traveling in an anticlockwise direction or demonstrating an anticlockwise motion
  2. having completed the childbearing years, i.e. menopausal
  3. a poor widow, to be pitied
  4. God-like
  5. Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty.
  6. wooded (OE)
  7. one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal
  8. purposeful (from Welsh, wydd)
  9. full of amazement.
Guess away!

The trouble is that the one I like most is the one I submitted. Roll Eyes

As I don't want to go for that I'll go for one where I can't see any apparent attempts at misdirection. I'll try 5.

It is one who deserves to be hanged by an anti-clockwise-wound rope for the crime of purposely murdering a happy menopausal widow while in a state of God-like paranoia in the woods.

I'll try eight.

OK, I'll take a contrary tack and go with #1.

Everyone who submitted an daffynition seemed to have voted, so without further ado, here are the answers:
  1. traveling in an anticlockwise direction or demonstrating an anticlockwise motion

    Bob's suggestion; fooled wordmatic

  2. having completed the childbearing years, i.e. menopausal

    From bethree5; no luck

  3. a poor widow, to be pitied

    A poor thing, but mine own; so poor that no-one bit.

  4. God-like

    Asa promulgated this and bethree5 and Kalleh followed.

  5. Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty.

    Kalleh's entry which amused Bob.

  6. wooded (OE)

    Another from bethree5 which fooled no-one.

  7. one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal

    The real thing. See http://home.comcast.net/~wwftd/uvwxyz.htm#widdiful

  8. purposeful (from Welsh, wydd)

    A third attempt from bethree5 - hooking Asa

  9. full of amazement.

    wordmatic tried to amaze, but failed.

Great word, Arnie, and you fooled us all! That was the one definition that I knew it wouldn't be Roll Eyes.

Now that you tell us, I can think of a lot of widdiful characters. The beauty is, you can say, "He's a truly widdiful person," and no one will ever know you're suggesting execution!
