Featured Term (selected at random):
Appearances, especially those of bread and wine, after the Eucharistic consecration. The term "species" is used by the Council of Trent (Denzinger 1652) to identify the accidents, i.e., the size, weight, color, resistance, tase, and odor of bread, which remain exactly the same after transubstantiation. They are not mere appearances as though these physical properties were unreal. But they are appearances because after the consecration they lack any substance that underlies them or in which they inhere.
How fascinating — thanks for posting this.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
Origin:
1545–55; < L speciēs appearance, form, sort, kind, equiv. to spec(ere) to look, regard + -iēs abstract n. suffix
We have spectacle, speculation, from the same Latin root.
Inspect would be another one.
How about circumspect?
I keep thinking of these words. LOL!
in+spect = look into
circum+spect = look around
re+spect = look back
pro+spect = look forward
