My students think I'm smart or something
Another little trend I noticed in this term's papers was the tendency to throw around vocabulary I'd never seen before. To balance the impression created by the post below, here are five words I learned from my students this term.
adjuvant a.: tending to help.
indelt n.: I still don't know what this is, or whether the word was a typo for something else. From the context, it is some sort of financial or judicial transaction performed at the papal curia.
lubricious a.: sleazy in a slippery kind of way.
misogamous a.: marriage-hating.
scapulimancy n.: divination performed by examining cracks in the shoulder blades of sheep (as practiced by the Mongols).
