Instruction in Diction

[Kaylee]

Okay, so let's play a game. It'll work like the 'Person Above Me' thread. I'll give you a word, you try to define it, then give the next person a word! Simple. We can learn new words and have some fun in the process, ya? IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORDS DON'T CHEAT. And, please nothing over-the-top just so no one can figure it out >.>

First Word! Easier one.

Tarry

[Jim Raynor]

Tarry means to delay.

Here's an easy one that doesn't get much use: ephemeral.

[Alex Mercer]

I think Ephemeral is a synonym for "instant" like being quick. Had it used on me once in highschool by my English teacher.

Here's a word I particularly like. I find it beautiful:
Sonder

[Illidan Stormrage]

Sorry, that's not what ephemeral means.

[Kaylee]

Gonna take a guess at this. Ephemeral means short? Something that doesn't last long I mean, not like a short person Like Sammy

Sonder...My mind reads this as sponder for some reason but I don't think I've heard it used.
