How do you feel about medical terms? Should the medical field also have to debase it's language to the lowest common denominator for the sake of understanding by the "common folks"? Words have meaning for a very precise reason, especially in the legal field, so stop whining and use the dictionary, just like the one you found and and were kind enough to pass on to the rest of us "common folk".

I am not understanding your point Dan................ this dictionary was published in 1856 and terms change over time. Yah, a medical one for "way back when" would be great too.......
