Some slight tweaks to the comp for 2020... 

Every week we're going to have a poll about the definition of a forgotten or obscure word. From the four options pick the definition you believe to be the correct one. Voters who pick the correct definition go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!  :party: (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

NO GOOGLING OR DICTIONARY USE! We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term). ;)

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of any official definitions, etc., that will give away the game for others. 

Now you know the drill, vote away! :thumbsup: Good luck and may this comp prove to be a fun palaestra that turns us all into better word-grubbers, if you know what I mean...

I can safely say that I have never legitimately known any of these words. I have gotten 1 right in all my time by guessing, and statistically speaking, that's pretty unlikely. Just guessing should get me more than that! This seems to be a fools endeavor for me

The dashing young spy considered his desulture to a fresh horse, as he sped away from the castle. The desulture he had gathered, whilst masquerading as a scullery boy, would surely put him in good stead with the exiled prince. For endless nights over the last 6 months, he had hid himself inside the closet of the desulture, taking note of the activities of the chambermaid and the seneschal. For who knew that it was the seneschal at the heart of the desulture in the castle! It had puzzled him at first, but the spy passed it off as one of the many odd things done amongst royalty. He had a collection of his own momentos from the fair young ladies of the court, but he never believed anyone would want the old King's braies...
