Word: repetitorium Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from German Repetitorium, so called because it serves to repeat or review material rather than introduce new topics. 1. A private class that augments a university course of studies by reviewing material, typically found in the German system. Example: A lecture which occupies more than one hour is always divided into two parts, by a break of a quarter of an hour in the middle, in order to prevent any weariness or inattention resulting from a long sitting. Great importance is attached to "repetitoriums," in which the ground of former lectures is glanced rapidly over, bringing out the most important points in the various subjects Example: As will be explained below, students taking repetitoria usually pay for a chunk of hours per subject and this could mean anything between DM 1,000 and 3,000 (approximately ₤1,000) per course on, say, civil law or procedural law etc. Even for those students who follow repetitoria in many courses, the overall cost is still low by comparison to British fees and infinitesimally low by comparison to American ones (though it does not seem so to the German takers). 2. A text written as a review of material, as opposed to one intended to introduce a topic. Example: Expressed in Professor Schrödinger's own words, it is a "repetitorium." The reader is given a rapid bird's-eye view of the subject with a few of the interesting applications strongly highlighted. Example: The interest is focused on the general procedure, and examples are dealt with as illustrations thereof. It is not a first introduction for newcomers to the subject, but rather a 'repetitorium'.

Example: Dorpfeld was an ardent advocate of elementary social science in the common school, and among his most extensively used school books were the little “ Repetitoriums," covering, in addition to the whole range of the natural sciences, the rudiments of psychology, government, army, the courts, minings, manufacture, transportation, and dis semination of news, commerce, church, school, public hygiene, social and political communities, unions and associations, an many other topics not usually included in any course of study.

Word: fail-deadly Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From fail (verb) + deadly, modelled on fail-safe. Pronunciation: /ˌfeɪlˈdɛdli/ 1. Of a nuclear weapons strategy: encouraging deterrence by guaranteeing an automatic, immediate, and overwhelming response to an attack, even if the command-and-control infrastructure has been damaged by the enemy's first strike. Labels: not-comparable Example: One, admittedly extreme, means of reducing the impact of a command, control, and communication failure would be the adoption of a "fail deadly" mode of operation. For example, as opposed to requiring a positive signal to proceed on to target after launch-on-warning, airplanes might be permitted to continue until a negative recall signal were received. The risk of unauthorized action would be increased, as would the danger of accidental or inadvertent war due to equipment malfunction. Example: If one were to assume a more traditional Realist image of human fallibility, then one's confidence in the safety of the elaborate nuclear "fail deadly" deterrence order might not be so sanguine.
