Newspapers often use words which send the readers looking for a dictionary.
Hardly ever do they help you understand them - meanings, origin, pronunciation - for the arcane (understood by few) and archaic (very old fashioned) word that are used. In this case, in the judicial order in the Arushi-Hemraj Murder Case.
The Wall Street Journal's India Realtime, picked five arcane words and dealt with them in a simple manner.
The words are: 1) decarcinating,2) beaut damsel, 3) jugulated, 4) flagitious, and 5) fortiori.
You would notice that the spell check does not recognise four of the five!
Read about it here.
Thank you, WSJ.
