epigone \ˈe-pə-ˌgōn\ - follower, disciple; also : an inferior imitator
Silly me. I had the right idea about this word but the completely wrong pronunciation and etymology, based on my misunderstanding that it would be related to "epitome."compurgator \ˈkäm-(ˌ)pər-ˌgā-tər\ - one who under oath vouches for the character or conduct of an accused person
Because everybody needs a twenty-five cent word that means "character witness."debenture \di-ˈben-chər\ - 1. British : a corporate security other than an equity security : bond
2. a bond backed by the general credit of the issuer rather than a specific lien on particular assets
I'm pretty sure I've heard this investment term before. I couldn't have told you what it means, though.
