redux \ree-DUKS\ - brought back
A word with which I was familiar, but I wasn't aware that it is always used postpositively.
esculent \ESS-kyuh-lunt\ - edible
This one sounds as if it should mean something more elegant than merely "edible."
neophilia \nee-uh-FILL-ee-uh\ - love or enthusiasm for what is new or novel
I was pretty close to getting this one, and might have if I'd just given myself a touch more time.
bucket shop \BUK-ut-SHAHP\ - 1. a gambling establishment that formerly used market fluctuations (as in commodities) as a basis for gaming 2. a dishonest brokerage firm
Didn't have a clue.
