Desipience - silliness. "Sapiens" = wise . Tsuwm had the word, but didn't give derivation.

Divagate - to stray, wander. I do it all the time. From dis + vagare

Divaricate = to stretch apart, put asunder. Kehre die Beinchen nicht in die Höhe, naughty Jove might be watching.
But when I looked up "prevaricate" I was surpised that the Latin meant "walk crookedly"/

Dear Faldage: I used to use slit-trench varicare-fully.

From the goddess of Discord, Eris. Pertaining to controversy, quarrelsome.

1 Cr, 5: 9 - 13 Christians are to avoid the familiar conversation of fellow-Christians that are notoriously wicked, and under just censure for their flagitious practices.

From "engines of our ingenuity" Modern engineering designers are up to an odd piece of work. It's called synectics. The word is Greek. It means binding different elements, and it fits invention. We invent when we see relations that other people have missed.
The word synectics was coined by William Gordon in 1961. Gordon points out that putting three people in a room doesn't mean trippling their effect. Three people with IQ's of 150 aren't apt to perform like one person with an IQ of 450. You have to do more than put people in the same space to make them do what they're capable of doing.
