exanimate /eg-ˈza-nə-mət/ - 1. lacking animation : spiritless 2. being or appearing lifeless
Didn't have any trouble matching this one to it's definition. Was looking for something close to this based on the roots.ferruginous /fə-ˈrü-jə-nəs, fe-/ - 1. of, relating to, or containing iron a ferruginous soil 2. resembling iron rust in color
Again, the roots made this one obvious, even though I hadn't encountered it before. The puzzle used the second definition.saltatorial /ˌsal-tə-ˈtȯr-ē-əl , ˌsȯl-/ - 1. relating to, marked by, or adapted for leaping: saltatorial legs of a grasshopper
I knew this wasn't going to be too closely related to sartorial; related to "something," sure, but I had no idea what.
