Definition
The act of basking in sunlight; lying or sitting in the sun to warm oneself.
Etymology
From Latin 'apricari' meaning 'to bask in the sun,' derived from 'apricus' meaning 'sunny' or 'open to the sun.' This delightful word entered English in the 17th century but remained quite rare.
Kelly Says
Aprication is a word that almost died out, yet it perfectly captures what cats instinctively do and what humans love on the first warm day of spring—it's specific, beautiful, and somehow makes sunbathing sound like a scientific pursuit.
