Tolkien vocabulary I (serious)
Who needs Reader's Digest to increase your vocabulary - there's lots to be learned from LotR et al! I've found a word that doesn't show up in my humble dictionary, and I can only guess its meaning from the context.
Maybe you'll find some interesting ones to share, inform or speculate on! Here's mine:
"puissant"
Faramir uses it speaking of Aragorn in RotK, Chapter "The Steward and the King", calling him "high and puissant". Any ideas?
