Tal vez porque el sustantivo es "morada" pero el adjetivo es "morado/a/os/as", y se supone que "morada" viene antes de "morado".

Second, I LOVE the very first definition: "Estancia de asiento o residencia algo continuada en un lugar." This uses the word of the day from a couple of days ago, "estancia". So, could I use "morada" like this: "A la hora del almuerzo, mi morada en la mesa me causó llegar tarde a clase." (??)
"Mi demora".

María José - I appreciate that you're trying to help me with the conjugation. But I don't understand. Could I write the whole sentence like that: "¡Se diría las pasé moradas!" ??? Or would I change it to "¡Me diría las pasé moradas!" ???

And does it only mean painful? Because it seems like it could be used for something that is not really very safe, too.... ??

Sorry, I think I confused you. What I meant is you should say (se diría): Las pasé moradas.
I'm sorry but I don't know about the other meaning.
