Good idea! Here's one for today.

prolix
adjective
pro·​lix prō-ˈliks ˈprō-(ˌ)liks

1: unduly prolonged or drawn out : too long
2: marked by or using an excess of words

prolixity
prō-ˈlik-sə-tē
noun
prolixly adverb

Did you know?
There's no way to talk about prolix without being redundant, verbose, and wordy. That's because the word is a synonym of all of those long-winded terms. Of those words, prolix is the one most likely to suggest unreasonable and tedious dwelling on details. It derives from prolixus, a Latin term meaning "extended" or "copious." Prolixus originated from a combination of the prefix pro- (which means "forward") and the past participle of liquēre, a verb meaning "to be fluid." True to that history, something that is prolix flows on and on.

Synonyms- circuitous circumlocutory diffuse garrulous logorrheic long-winded pleonastic
rambling verbose windy wordy

I saw this word used exactly one time in my life and it was in a Philip K Dick book. You need a dictionary to read him!
