Well, the quarter’s about over, so it’s time for my favorite new-to-me words of Q3 2006:

07.07.2006: vetitive: 1. Relating to a veto. 2. Having the power to forbid. 07.20.2006: nescience: Lack of knowledge or awareness; ignorance 08.10.2006: ensorcell: To bewitch; to enchant. 08.17.2006: haruspicy: Divination by inspecting the entrails of sacrificed animals. 08.24.2006: phatic: Relating to a communication meant to generate an atmosphere of social relationship rather than to convey some information. 09.04.2006: palinode: A poem in which the author retracts something said in an earlier poem.

What are yours?
