hydroessential
Recently saw this word on the label of a bottle of some New-Age quackery nonsense. I think it means "essential oil mixed with water", or something like that. Might not meet CFI at this point. Equinox ◑ 22:08, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

 * It is, gen. pl. , adjective and noun being of this form, the adjective which we have as . Very common in philosophical and juristic jargon. sounds wrong.

 * Thanks. I have moved the noun to and fixed up the definition; please check the defn as I may be wrong. Benwing2 (talk) 03:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * luminar does not exist as a Latin word. Probably a typo for the existing noun, with which the contested entry shares the definition and in most cases the declension. This entry should be deleted. --Lambiam 11:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
