Learning still... what already exists

convocation: an assembly often of clergy members

evanescence: to vanish

ineluctable: not to be avoided, changed, or resisted : inevitable <an ineluctable fate>  (pronunciation: emphasis on luck)

empty suffix ? and misuse intrigue

Since we're talking..... alphadictionary.com   also pointed out.

metaphorical with the empty (meaningless) suffix -al at the end.  Huh?......... I didn't know there were empty suffixes. 

Also.
The use of today's good word in the sense of "symbol" is, in fact, a misuse, but one that seems to have stuck: "Michael Jackson is a metaphor for the focus on superficiality in show business."

Misuse makes it official?   Huh..?   I guess if you use it enough.... we can through application change the rule.

"Metaphor" and where it comes from

I can see "Meta" and think of metacognition, "awareness of your own thinking process".  Thinking about how you think.    Meta-analysis to study separate but similar experiments. 

Wikipedia says "Meta" means above, among, beyond.

Then I found this at alphadictionary.com

Word History: The ancients thought that metaphor carried you beyond the meaning of words. We borrowed it via Old French from Latin metaphora, which came from Greek metaphora "transference", a noun from metapherein "to carry beyond, to transfer". This verb is based on meta "beyond" + pherein "to carry". Meta is a distant cousin of English mid and middle. The root of pherein comes from a prolific Proto-Indo-European root, *bher-/*bhor- which turned up on its own in English as (to) bear, birth, and (wheel)barrow. In Latin the initial [bh] became [f], resulting in ferre "to carry, bear", which we see in confer, refer, defer, transfer, etc. (Today's word came from the ocean of Good Words in the vocabulary of Apoclima, a major trading partner in the Alpha Agora.)

I'mpossible

Audrey Hepburn noticed, "Even the word impossible, says I'm Possible."  So, I guess there is no impossible.

LOVE IT!

Spelling: Responsibility

I recommend spelling Responsibility with an emphasis on ability. I'm thinking responsAbility. Do you have the ability to respond?

Translocare (Italian)

Sometimes other languages do it better. Translocare in Italian means to move, my
version of English is to Translocate, I love it!

Parallel construction

Then there are the fun made up words that would create more balance. Little/
Lottle. Did the dog peep/poop?

Ever notice that the word parallel, has a double "l" that way it can contain parallel lines?

New word: heare

Sometimes I see how spelling a word just a little different would add more
meaning. Heare, means "I hear you" and "I am here for you". It adds a level of
depth to the listening.

symmetrical

Sometimes I take a literal look at language. Why do we spell symmetical with 2
m's? Because it's more symmetrical.

Onomatopoeia = Universal Language

I always have one eye on trying to find universal language. In cliche it is love, but I mean actual spoken words. My life long dream is to be able to speak every language and so to speak to every single person, but I don't have a facility for language. In fact, I've spent 10 years learning a combination of French, Italian and Spanish, and the net affect is a rolodex where all the words live. I can create a sentence without tense or masculine/feminine descriptors, but all I can really promise is that it is not English. There's little probability the words I've just said are in any ONE language. Unfortunately, that's not how my mind organized it as we went.

But today, I heard it. Listening to Tomas Transtromer read his poem "Alone" about a car crash, I heard him say "Clang" a sound made by a metal pole snapped in place. Aha!!!! This is it. This is our universal language. We all have experiences that have sound, and we all have made up words to immitate the sound. Hooray!!!! I've got it. Of course, there is the element that we hear differently. In Mexico they say dogs say "Gua, Gua" instead of "Ruff, Ruff", but we're getting closer at least. ; )

In what other ways are simple truths shared? Subject matter is universal. We all share one human experience and have many words to talk about it, one perspective per person, one language per people.

New word: Exprescience

This was a Freudian slip in my journal that joined the words expression/ experience. In context I wrote, "Yet human experiece is human "exprescience" it is fundamentally the same." What I meant is all potential emotional experiences are unique to humans and possible for all humans. Our experience of a situation is universal though the contexts vary widely. Also, it is true that we express our selves in a human way, and this too is universal. I also like the sound of the word prescience (a divind omniscience) is hiding in there, a connotation of presence being expressed. Omni-presence is a cousin word, everywhere all at once, holds part of the same root.
