The word I learned today is precarious:
–adjective
- dependent on circumstances beyond one's control; uncertain; unstable; insecure
- dependent on the will or pleasure of another; liable to be withdrawn or lost at the will of another
- exposed to or involving danger; dangerous; perilous; risky
- having insufficient, little, or no foundation: a precarious assumption.
[Origin: 1640–50; < L precārius obtained by entreaty or mere favor, hence uncertain.]
Precarious. My balance is precarious.
