Zeus 12/14/17 12:33:44 PM #4:	Oddly enough, that's a word which has kept popping into my head a lot lately. I knew it was a political word of some kind, but couldn't remember what it meant. argonautweakend posted... whatre some other weird words? Well, back when I was doing my word of the day series, I wound up covering a few weird words: Docent - A term for a museum guide because apparently museum guide isn't direct enough Decedent - Legal term for a deceased person. I guess "the deceased" doesn't just do, despite tv lawyers using that. Presentiment - Synonym for foreboding. First learned about when watching j-horror since translators often tend to use less common English words because their mastery of both languages generally isn't fluid. And, when I glanced at Merriam-Webster, the word of the day is Gravaman which, apparently, isn't a superhero but instead the significant part of a grievance. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:892206117] in here's a w...

From Wikipedia: Etymologically rooted in the Old Norse word umbosmar, essentially meaning "representative" (with the word umbud/ombud meaning proxy, attorney, that is someone who is authorized to act for someone else, a meaning it still has in the Scandinavian languages). This is why the apparently English word 'Ombudsman' confused me.
