[Dixonary] Round 2792: ADUST - Final Posting
With just a hair of glitchiness in the voting process, hopefully all came
out correctly. In round 2792, 2 players earned top spot with 4 points: they were Tony Abell and Daniel Widdis. Daniel Widdis's definition "1. A judgment of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal condemning or acquitting persons accused of religious offenses. 2. An execution of such sentence, by the civil power, esp. the burning of a heretic. It was usually held on Sunday, and was made a great public solemnity by impressive forms and ceremonies. 3. Hence: [Fig.] The public denunciation or punishment of a person who has offended the prevailing authorities." earned its author the deal, and Tony Abell can heave a sigh of relief that "[Scots] Indifferent." did not earn one more vote. Mike Shefler takes runner-up position with 3 points. The true definition was 5: "Archaic Burned; scorched." (AHD - 5th Edition). One lucky guess just pipped me for a D0. 1. 1. A judgment of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal condemning or acquitting persons accused of religious offenses. 2. An execution of such sentence, by the civil power, esp. the burning of a heretic. It was usually held on Sunday, and was made a great public solemnity by impressive forms and ceremonies. 3. Hence: [Fig.] The public denunciation or punishment of a person who has offended the prevailing authorities.
