Word: Ximenean Part of Speech: adj Etymology: Ximénez or Ximenes + -an Pronunciation: /hɪˈmeɪ.ni.ən/, /ˌzɪməˈniːən/ 1. Of or pertaining to the cryptic crossword style used and defined by "Ximenes" (Derrick Somerset Macnutt), whereby an acceptable cryptic clue must have a precise definition, a fair and strictly grammatical subsidiary indication, and no redundant elements beyond these. Example: For example, I did not follow a Ximenean rule that a member of a larger class cannot be used to define the class itself (one poster brought this up). Example: Don Manley calls these non-Ximenean clues “wild and woolly” and worries they're far too common. 2. Pertaining to the religious teachings and publications of Ximénez de Cisneros. Example: Speaking of the Ximenean Polyglot, Prescott calls it a “noble monument of piety, learning, and munificence, which entitles its author to the gratitude of the whole Christian world.”—Ferd. 5r Isab., Vol. III., p. 289. Example: In the oldest Mozarabic service-book (the Orationale Gothicum) the series of services of instruction for the Compétents (Missae Cate- chumenorum) is confined to three weeks, and not, as in the Ximenean printed service-books, extended to six weeks.
Word: Ximenean Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Ximénez or Ximenes + -an Pronunciation: /hɪˈmeɪ.ni.ən/, /ˌzɪməˈniːən/ 1. A cruciverbalist or crossword fan who shares Ximenes's beliefs about fair crossword setting. Example: I managed to complete a puzzle and as Ximenes enjoyed solving it, and as I thought he might welcome the opportunity to enter a clue writing contest himself, I decided to send the puzzle to a few more Ximeneans and set the name of the author of the quotation as the word to be clued. Example: The home was in Leatherhead, which Ximeneans would despise as a signal for L, but let's keep with the action.
