Clamant is an adjective that means forcing itself on the attention.

Our word of the day is derived from the Latin word clamare (kla MAR ay) which means ‘cry out or shout.’ Clamant is used to describe something that cries out for our attention. Example: when trapped in the wilderness, it’s always important to tend to your clamant needs first. So when the need for food cries out to you, it’s time to head to the tent for some trail mix.
