Good Evening fellas! So heres something for you to talk aloud , talk back to it, make you use your pens and papers and not just mental simulation.
No! Not another story, I'm starting with my first vocabulary session, I'm myself taking these sessions on a routine, and believe me quite a heating stuff you encounter once you dive in! I'm being a l'll descriptive with these words for the beginning, i'll be briefing it over time once it gets inveterately here.
1.ALTERCATION
Every word in the vocabulary has a history behind it, digging into its derivation, the word comes from "Alter" meaning "other", Altercation means a dispute, a verbose stronger than a quarrel, angry or even hot-tempered. dis-agreement is more likely to be sentimental and heating.
For example ex- A Demagogue is likely to get into numerous altercations with the public.
2.TACITURN
Taciturn is from a latin verb "taceo", to be silent.
If you let your mind play over some of taciturn people you will come across why getting into a conversation with them is morose, sullen and unfriendly. It is their disinclination towards the dialog that makes them un-affable and secretive.
Here's a executive engaging in a romantic affair with his secretary in the office, he indulges in this extra-curricular activity without having a word on how to keep their private life afar from the professional one, as they're both well aware of the doctrine in such cases. Hence this conversation about keeping a starry-eye on this employer-employee relationship remains "tacit", hence unsaid.
A person is never called tacit. The noun is tacitness.
3.DILETTANTE

Often, though not necessarily, a person of independent income, you engage superficially into pursuit of one fine arts say painting , writing, sculpting, composing etc, doing it largely for your complacency and amusement and not to attain any professional merits or recognition nor are you inclined to earning money through this hobby.
