Lexicon: Terms the Glossary Does Not Define

Captions available

The idea

The board's own options use words the anchor's glossary has no headword for: somber, reticent, obsequious, admonitory, cavalier. Those are ordinary English words used in their ordinary senses. The next entries fix each one, because an option cannot be tested until its words are settled.

In practice

Five words the glossary omits.

Where people slip

Ordinary senses, precisely applied.
