OP there are some words i know, but never use except in a cliche, or trite phrase..
like sunder which is one of those words that seems to go back to IE, meaning away from, seperate.
i never use the word sunder by its self. it always torn asunder--some might remember we discussed the a prefix, that is often used as an intensifier, some months ago, and we can go off on that tangent if every one wants... (speaking of tangents, sunder is related to the latin sine..)
but i thought we might explore other words, not often used by them selves, but only in common (or not so common!) expressions.
