Axing Words

The editors of Collins Dictionary have decided to give the pink-slip to 24 words in the English Language. Their argument is that, these are lesser known words and have almost 'nil' usage in today's world.

The list of words with their meanings is as follows:

1] Abstergent:- Cleansing or scouring
2] Agrestic:- Rural, rustic, unpolished, uncouth
3] Apodeictic:- Unquestionably true by virtue of demonstration
4] Caducity:- Perishableness, senility
5] Caliginosity:- Dimness, darkness
6] Compossible:- Possible in coexistence with something else
7] Embrangle:- To confuse or entangle
8] Exuviate:- To shed (a skin or similar outer covering)
9] Fatidical:- Prophetic
10] Fubsy:- Short and stout, squat
11] Griseous:- Streaked or mixed with grey, somewhat grey
12] Malison:- A curse
13] Mansuetude:- Gentleness or mildness
14] Muliebrity:- The condition of being a woman
15] Niddering:- Cowardly
16] Nitid:- Bright, glistening
17] Olid:- Foul-smelling
18] Oppugnant:- Combative, antagonistic or contrary
19] Periapt:- A charm or amulet
20] Recrement:- Waste matter, refuse, dross
21] Roborant:- Tending to fortify or increase strength
22] Skirr:- A whirring or grating sound, as of the wings of birds in flight
23] Vaticinate:- To foretell, prophesy
24] Vilipend:- To treat or regard with contempt

There are some people who are opposed to this move by Collins and are trying their best to persuade the editors to reconsider their decision.

Now that these words are to be 'exuviated abstergently' do not use them and 'embrangle' your conversations or writings!
