| Sep 2, 2015 at 19:34 | comment | added | BobRodes | @VictorBazarov: I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. One of them has the precise meaning requested, two are very close, and one is a bit of a stretch. I prefer not to explain my reasons for saying so, because I would like the OP to look up the words and draw his own conclusions. But, feel free to refute my point of view if you should desire to do so. Perhaps it will be instructive for all of us. | |

I suggest that you look the words up in the dictionary and form your own ideas. Once you have done that, feel free to share your ideas and get reactions. | |
