WRONG. Reticent means "disinclined to speak." It is NOT a synonym of "reluctant," thought it's often misused that way.

Reticent - reluctant. I am reticent to post an answer.




I had been unsure of that, myself. So after I posted I went to Dictionary.com

Please note definition 3.

With all due respect my dear Candy, if someone says a word is wrong the ultimate fall back will have to be a dictionary(s). Therefore using a dictionary to prove out the meaning of the word when told it is wrong should be acceptable.

Ya, but Ya cannot derive new word from dictionaries, and Ya must 1st call it a fake, LOL.

New word: Extreme Unction

Next one: oneiromancy.

Edited to add: I looked up "brimborion," by the way, and it's a noun: a valueless THING.

This would be concerning divination (since you seem to like divination *W*) of dreams.

Next word should be easy: literateur

NB: It is not a mis-spelling of fulgent as in Fulgencia Battista, who I hardly found brilliant at all.

That's actually ONE word, or is it several words joined together?

Eeeek! Nope. Vocabulary and I are a very sad combo. Not my strong point.
I just swing in to learn something.
