Here are our words this week. I need help with a couple of them!
cessation (n) temporary or complete stopping
gourmand (n) a person who is fond of good eating
louring (adj) to be dark and threatening
palatable (adj) acceptable or agreeable
equivocation (n) a fallacy caused by the double meaning of a word
panegyrie CAN YOU TRANSLATE THIS ONE, LUCY?
pettishly (adj) petulantly peevish
stultifying (v) to cause to appear foolish
panche ?? Also not in the dictionary.
tocsin (n) a bell used to sound an alarm
..hmmm, off the top of my head, if I think of 'panayiri' (phonetic spelling and pronunciation)- the word is still used today in modern Greek when referring to a great feast or even a fair. Does that sound plausible and within context? Now I'm curious..
ReplyDeleteI can't remember how it was used, but it came from My Enemy the Queen.
