Wait, can you give what benevolence means. Which dictionary are you using, cos it usually doesnt give just one word for another word thats even longer or more obscure than the word its means to describe?!

I use collins and/or Oxford and the definitions are usually pretty good and understandable. I suppose miriam-webster is an American dictionary?

Intestary

 

[Lanolin]

Ok sorry I was a bit confused there. We are not doing synonyms we are doing dictionary definitions. So you cant just give a similar word as a meaning for another word.

benevolent adj
1. Well meaning and kindly.
2. (Of an organization) charitable rather than profit-making.

Derivatives - benevolence

 

[Lanolin]

Sorry my dictionary does not have Intestary, it does have intestacy though (are you spelling it correctly?)

Intestacy derives from intestate adj. not having made a will before you die.

Ok new word

Anhedonia

Anhedonia is a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.[1] While earlier definitions of anhedonia emphasized the inability to experience pleasure, anhedonia is used by researchers to refer to reduced motivation, reduced anticipatory pleasure (wanting), reduced consummatory pleasure (liking), and deficits in reinforcement learning.

'Philomath'

A philomath (/ˈfɪləmæθ/) from Greek φίλος philos ("beloved", "loving", as in philosophy or philanthropy) and μανθάνειν, μαθ- manthanein, math- ("to learn", as in polymath) is a lover of learning and studying.

Ecchymosis

 

[Moses_Young]

My guess: ecchy - similar to the word etchy, as in etch-a-sketch, so some form of child's drawing; and mosis, the plural of Moses. So an ecchymosis is a child's sketch of myself and a number of similarly named colleagues.

Actual word:
Medicine
noun: ecchymosis; plural noun: ecchymoses

1. a discoloration of the skin resulting from bleeding underneath, typically caused by bruising.
