amciw - your words sound so cool!! please please please enlighten me with definitions... because i am oh so lazy and my fingers cannot type Dictionary.com..

Haha omg I have to tell you guys, some of the SAT words I know I remember because of Harry Potter...

like "impervius" (which means deflecting, I think) like when Harry does the Impervius spell so that water wouldn't get on his glasses when it rained during the Quidditch match

and "ennervate" .... mwahahaha

Yeah enervate makes no sense in HP because it's the unstunning spell...yet it's to weaken...

Maybe it means to weaken the stunning spell? I wonder if Protego means anything. I can only think of protagonist.
