Vocab from The Varieties of Religious Experience

aseity

the property by which a being exists of and from itself; usually used in connection to God

apodictic

Necessarily or demonstrably true; incontrovertible.

concatenated

To connect or link in a series or chain.

decide

Of course, I already knew the definition; it's hardly an unusual word. But for some reason (too much Cephalogenic, I expect) when I ran across it this time, I got to thinking, "I wonder if there's any connection between all the -cide words that denote killing (like suicide) and decide." Turns out, I was right! The de part means "off, away" and stuff like that. The -cide goes back to the Latin for cut or kill. So, when you decide between two things, you're "killing" one off. Cool, huh?

ebriety

drunkenness (After seeing the definition, I realized I should have known that it had to have something to do with being drunk, because of its closeness to "inebriated.")

extern

A person associated with but not officially residing in an institution, especially a nonresident physician on a hospital staff.

kelson

A timber or girder fastened above and parallel to the keel of a ship or boat for additional strength.

limpid

predoceous

vocables

vulnery

I couldn't find "vulnery" specifically, but I may have misspelled it when I jotted it down in my notes and really meant "vulnerary,"which means having to do with wounds.
