Sorry for the late answer. The link kind of dissapeared in the black hole that is my fav bar -.-

Apparently I learned it wrong, although I remember using it in an english paper and not getting a point deducted.
Maybe it's because I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to english.

etymonline.com (http://www.etymonline.com) has a nice definition and kind of explaines where I went wrong while learning that word.
[careful, that page sucks you in and when you look up again it's the next morning and you have to leave soon. Not that that happened to me or anything *scoffs*]
