Word of the Day: Crescendo!

cre·​scen·​do krə-ˈshen-(ˌ)dō 

A gradual increase in volume of a musical passage.

Used as a noun

First used in 1775, Crescendo was borrowed from the Italian 'crescendo' to mean "increasing," and the Latin 'crēscere', meaning "to come into existence, increase in size or numbers" (Source: Merriam-Webster).

The growing applause reached its crescendo when the performers came on stage to start their set.
