New Words

I've had fun reading the latest in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. In 86 pages I've learned these words:

1. egregiously=remarkably
2. vouchsafed=granted
3. enigmatic=baffling, perplexing
4. prescience=foreknowledge
5. shibboleth=password, testword
6. solipsism=the theory that the self can be aware of nothing but its own experience & states
7. salient=conspicuous
8. veracity=accuracy
9. erudite=learned, scholarly

Most amazing!!
