Monday it is !! ( from the article !! )

1. Hortatory : words or actions that are encouraging in tone  , especially in time of need..
Generals  speech was hortatory for the families of the soldiers.


2) perspicacious: shrewd or wise.
A perspicacious child is not fooled by pepsi mixed with water.

3) recondite : difficult for average person to understand.
Shakespeare's work can be termed as recondite.

4) Contumely: abuse , insult
The praises are high points of life , just as contumely might be the low ones.

5) splice : intertwining of two ends of something to create strongest possible attachment.
the spidey power are spliced with Peter Parker to give us Spider-man.
The couple will be spliced in pen coming January :P.
