sapid \SAP-id\, adjective:

1. Having taste or flavor, especially having a strong pleasant flavor.
2. Agreeable to the mind; to one's liking.

...Sapid comes from Latin sapidus, "savory," from sapere, "to taste."

Sapid but vapid, that girl just has it.

apocryphal \uh-POK-ruh-fuhl\, adjective:

1. (Bible) Pertaining to the Apocrypha.
2. Not canonical. Hence: Of doubtful authority or authenticity; equivocal; fictitious; spurious; false.

...Apocryphal ultimately derives from Greek apokruphos, "hidden (hence, spurious)," from apokruptein, "to hide away," from apo-, "away, from" + kruptein, "to hide."

Like the word "vulgate," "apocryphal" suggests something entirely different to me from what it actually means. It seems strange to call any of your actions or behaviour apocryphal, though that is correct. This adjective seem to grant too much heat and size to the things I hate about you, those things that are slimier and colder.

orotund \OR-uh-tuhnd\, adjective:

1. Characterized by fullness, clarity, strength, and smoothness of sound.
2. Pompous; bombastic.

..Orotund derives from Latin ore rotundo, "with a round mouth," hence "clear, loud," from os, oris, "the mouth" + rotundus, "round." It is related to oral.

Who could fail delight in this blooming garden, where each hussy-bright orotund mouth echoed the sea-salt wind's joy-hum.

vagary \VAY-guh-ree; vuh-GER-ee\, noun:

...An extravagant, erratic, or unpredictable notion, action, or occurrence.

...Vagary comes from Latin vagari, "to stroll about, to wander," from vagus, "wandering."

Intellectual vagary was more than her condition, it was her creed.
