OP
OP
puncture separately. Extinguish means to prick or puncture out. IL all cases the allusion is to marking by
a puncture. At college the "markers" at the chapel doors still hold a pin in one hand, and prick with it the
name of each "man" who enters. The word is used to express a natural impulse to do something; an
inherent habit.
"Although reason may ... be blended with instinct the distinction between the two is sufficiently
precise. Reason only acts upon a defluite and often laboriously acquired knowledge of the
relation between means and ends." - Romanes: Encyclopędia Britannica, vol. xiii. p. 157
(ninth edition).
defluite - I wonder if this is a typo for "definite"?
