Vocab

Recondite; rapine; perspicuous; jejune; pelf. What do these words have in common?
I came across all of these words while reading P.J. O'Rourke's On the Wealth of Nations, and I had to reach for the dictionary for each one. Think out your definition before you roll your mouse over the word, and see how you do. Then use each one in a sentence tomorrow!

recondite; rapine; perspicuous; jejune; pelf; parsimonious; invidious; physiocrat; ratiocination; philippic; prosaic; solipsistic; cynosure; pecuniary; emoluments
