Word of the Day: DILOGICAL

ETYMOLOGY
from Greek δίλογος (dilogos) (doubtful), διλογία (repetition) + -ic + -al, after logical

EXAMPLE
“… Therefore some of the subtler, haue deliuered their opinions in such spurious, enigmaticall, dilogicall termes, as the Diuell gaue his Oracles; that since Heauen will not follow their Instructions, their Constructions shall follow Heauen. And because the Weather hath not fallen out, as they haue before tolde, they will now tell as the weather falles out. …”

From: The Sacrifice of Thankefulnesse 
By Thomas Adams, 1616
