The word of the day for today was:

philodox (FIL-uh-doks) noun

Someone who loves his or her own opinion; a dogmatic person.

[From Greek philodoxos, from philo- (love) + doxa (glory, opinion). Ultimately from Indo-European root dek- (to take or accept) that's also the root of words such as paradox, orthodox, doctor, disciple, discipline, doctrine, dogma, decorate, dignity, and disdain.]
