Word 3,4,5 Jan:21:2'15

Hey, so we couldn't go through the last three words yesterday, well here they are;


Eighty-five

The cardinal number immediately following eighty-four and preceding eighty-six.
synonyms

Roman numerals: LXXXV
translations (the cardinal number 85)
German: fünfundachtzig
Italian: ottantacinque
Portuguese: oitenta e cinco
Russian: восемьдесят пять

Wow, I allowed this one cos of the many other languages, I hope I can learn them. Notice how the Portuguese and the Spanish are alike.


Chorepiscopus
noun (plural chorepiscopi)
A country or suffragan bishop, appointed in the ancient church by a diocesan bishop to exercise episcopal jurisdiction in a rural district.

The dictionary on my device does not even know this one. I would have never pegged it for something that could be in an English-language dictionary. You might also need to check the definitions of some of the words that were used to define it - how strenuous.

Funny things you can find in a dictionary huh. At least my device knows this one.
