Word of the Day: INODIATE

ETYMOLOGY
from Latin type inodiare, from in- + odium (hate)

EXAMPLE
“… And if I should appeal from Philip asleep, to Philip awake, I presume the Apologists themselves will acquit me of any odium toward Ministry; I wish some of them were not more culpable for inodiating Ministers, and censorious vilifying their persons and pains, that themselves may attract more esteem and dependencies, who (like the men of China) though they may think the Presbyterians to have one eye (as the Chinois say of the Europeans,) yet they conclude all the World beside to be blind. …”

From: Coena quasi koinē
The New-Inclosures broken down, and the Lords Supper Laid forth in common for all Church-members, having a Dogmatical Faith, and not being Scandalous
By William Morice, 1657
