Words that don't make sense

Recommended Posts

Recapitulate.

 

"Capitulate" means to surrender. So you'd think to "recapitulate" would mean surrendering again.

 

Yet "recapitulate" means to summarize something already stated at length.

 

:dunno:

Notwithstanding.

 

Really, peoople should be shot for using this.

 

"Notwithstanding my client admitted verbally, in writing and through interpretative dance to sawing the head off his ex-lover, he should be exhonerated nonetheless."
