1. indite<\/strong> \u2014 to compose, to create a literary composition; (obsolete<\/em>) to dictate<\/p>\n

A review of the cuneiform records reveals that the governor of the far-flung province continued to <\/em>indite missives imploring the High King to send aid long after the military disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. epistemology<\/strong> \u2014 science of the origin and method of knowledge<\/p>\n

Epicurus dethroned Reason as the arbiter of truth, giving that role to Nature in his <\/em>epistemology.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. arrogate<\/strong> \u2014 to claim without right, to take without justification <\/p>\n

We should not <\/em>arrogate a complete understanding of the universe, but should recognize that our vision and comprehension may be only partial and perhaps misguided at times.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. view-halloo<\/strong> \u2014 hunter\u2019s cry upon spying the fox break cover<\/p>\n

\u201cThere it is!\u201d he shouted as a prosaic <\/em>view-halloo when he saw his suitcase land on the baggage carousel.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. cremocarp<\/strong> \u2014 type of fruit development in which two one-seeded mericarps hang from a central axis<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. pavane<\/strong> \u2014 solemn and stately dance<\/p>\n

On the warehouse floor the robots and the humans who served them once more entered into their colorless <\/em>pavane of commerce.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. hoodwink<\/strong> \u2014 to blindfold, to cover eyes with a hood; to deceive, to trick<\/p>\n

Josiah realized his own prejudices had <\/em>hoodwinked him, and now the real culprits were far away while he had arrested this innocent in his unreasoning fury.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. tergiversation<\/strong> \u2014 apostasy, abandonment of a cause; turning dishonorably from straightforward action or principles, equivocation<\/p>\n

My opponent\u2019s change of heart regarding ice cream parlor licenses is an example of his flip-flop politics, if not outright <\/em>tergiversation from his supposed ideals.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. artful<\/strong> \u2014 wily, deceitful<\/p>\n
