define:’d
Volume II
Volume I is here.
I’ve listed this month’s “define:” searches below. Same format, word followed by comments in parentheses:
Celerity (Think Acceleration)
Censorious
Conglobation
Denouement (French is weird)
Frisian (Neal Stephenson giving an analogy.)
Germane (NOT Teutonic! That association wouldn’t be germane.)
Judas Cradle (Eh?)
Lye (Fight Club!)
Patternless (It exists! Apparently, saying “Random” doesn’t cut it anymore)
Perdition
Posit (Opposite of Deposit?)
Reductionist
Travail
Trilby (Fedora, now Trilby. Any more hats I should know of?)
XY problem
Baroque (17th century art, type of pearl, stained glass, and more; Meanings overload!)
Callused (Eww)
CMB (Yeah. Of the “Science. It works” fame)
Collude
Diddle (Um, yeah. I thought it was a musical instrument.)
Homounculus (Full Metal Alchemist)
Indictment
Prosaic (as opposed to esoteric?)
Recondite (is itself recondite)
Seditious (as opposed to subversive)
Trenchant (Trenchant? Trenchant?)
October, then.
