Why this word is great
INCLEMENCY — [Noun] The quality or state of being severe, especially in weather; harshness or storminess. From the Latin inclēmentia, from in- ("not") + clēmentia ("mildness, mercy"), its very roots a stark negation of gentleness. Unlike "clemency" (which denotes a judge's merciful reprieve) or "severity" (a broad term for harshness in punishment or illness), inclemency is the ancient, elemental judgment of sky and earth. It is the horizontal lash of sleet on a winter moor, the raw wind that strips the last leaf from a skeletal oak, and the deep, implacable cold that settles into bones and mortar alike—the world's mute insistence on its own profound indifference.
