ACT Word of the Day (2/2-2/6) 2/2/15 cartographer (noun) One who makes maps. Ancient cartographers often did not visit the lands they charted, which means that many of their maps are highly unreliable. 2/3/15 indissoluble (adj) Not capable of being melted, liquefied or broken apart. In previous generations divorce was unthinkable; the marriage bond was considered indissoluble. 2/4/15 ephemeral (adj) Short-lived; existing or continuing for a short time only The politician's widespread popularity proved ephemeral, for shortly after her election she alienated many voters by enacting a series of controversial measures. 2/5/15 extricate (verb) To untangle or release from a difficult situation. Seated at the dinner party between the two most boring men she had ever met, Paula wondered how she could gracefully extricate herself from the situation. 2/6/15 renunciation (noun) Disownment; disavowal. Beauregard's giving up wine, women and song was a renunciation of his past life behind and a reflection of his desire to start afresh.
