And the following five words:
Hedonic 1 of or characterised by pleasure. 2 Psych. of pleasant or unpleasant sensations.
Fugacious 1 literary fleeting, evanescent, hard to capture or keep. 2 Bot & Zool. falling or fading early; soon cast off. I can't even believe this is a real word!
Chary (qting judgment) 1 cautious, wary. 2 sparing; ungenerous. 3 shy.
Otiose adv. serving no practical purpose; not required; functionless. He's not talking about property law is he...?
Hortatory adj. tending or serving to exhort. These words exist for people to use them. Good on ya!
