Pronounced:
<pro-pish-us>
Convenient. Favorable. Kind
My use:
The weather today is propitious. A sunny day is always good for a picnic.
Literary use:
By Bront
The dew fell, but with propitious softness; no breeze whispered.
Memory trick:

prop (reminds of) = proper or correct
it (reminds of) = it
ious (sounds like) = us
proper it is to us
