Word: conjugial Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Latin coniugiālis, from coniugium (“connection, marriage”). Pronunciation: /kənˈdʒuːɡɪəl/, /kənˈdʒuːdʒɪəl/ 1. Alternative form of conjugal used by Swedenborg and his followers, used to distinguish their ideas about marital relations. Labels: alt-of, alternative, not-comparable Example: [I]n common scortation, or simple adultery, there is not a love analogous to conjugial love, for it is only a heat of the flesh, which instantly defervesces, and sometimes does not leave any trace of love behind it towards it's object; […] It is otherwise in the case of polygamical scortation; herein there is a love analogous to conjugial love, for it doth not defervesce, is not dissipated, nor doth it pass off into nothing after effervescence, as the foregoing, but it remains, renews, and strengthens itself, and so far takes away from love to the wife, and in the place thereof induces cold towards the wife; […] Example: When this conjunction, which is of the interiors, descends into the inferiors, which are of the body, it is perceived and felt as love; that love is conjugial love.

Word: lysergic Part of Speech: adj Etymology: Blend of (hydro)lys(is) + erg(ot) + -ic (adjective-forming suffix). Sense 2 (“psychedelic, trippy”) refers to the effects of taking the drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Pronunciation: /laɪˈsɜː.d͡ʒɪk/, /lə-/, /laɪˈsɚ.d͡ʒik/ 1. Used in the designation of lysergic acid and lysergic acid diethylamide: produced by hydrolysis from ergot. Labels: not-comparable, usually Example: Much more soluble in water than ergotoxine, ergotamine, sensibamine or ergoclavine, and is thought to be the hydroxyisopropylamide of lysergic acid. Example: In a series of papers during the past few years Jacobs and [Lyman C.] Craig have shown that the ergot alkaloids are derivatives of a unique acid base, lysergic acid, in which the latter or an isomer is conjugated with certain amino acids or substances which can be derived from them, such as 2-aminopropanol-1, pyruvic acid, and isobutyrylformic acid. Since lysergic acid is thus the common characteristic constituent of these alkaloids, the determination of its structure became at once a major issue in the ergot alkaloid problem. 2. Psychedelic, trippy. Labels: comparable, not-comparable, usually Example: The Doves' mantras of desolation are even trippier than the first couple Cranes records (though maybe not as lysergic as prime Swans or Ravens), […] Example: As mentioned earlier, my first impression of the sleeve art was that it bore marked similarity to a poetry collection – nothing very lysergic about that.
