Well-refined
Of high value or cost

It's a word that sounds sort of like precocious.

Please help, this has been annoying me all morning.

Precious.
Opulent.
Palatial.
Presidential.

PhwoarGras · 06/08/2016 12:47

Nope, none of those.

I'm starting to wonder if I made this word up Confused

It's a word that would be used in financial/legal settings.

Privileged

Vipermisnomer · 06/08/2016 12:51

Just make up a new word then, Shakespeare did loads of that Grin

Floggingmolly · 06/08/2016 12:52

Preferential?

Vipermisnomer · 06/08/2016 12:53

Also if legal then possibly Latin not English?

Pretiosus?

JulietteBarnes · 06/08/2016 12:55

Prestigious? Prosperous?

Vipermisnomer · 06/08/2016 12:58

Any of these?

toadgirl · 06/08/2016 12:59

pecuniary relating to or involving money

propitious presenting favourable circumstances

prosperity the condition of having good fortune

puissant powerful

Nothing more frustrating than trying to remember a word! Happens to me a lot.

DropYourSword · 06/08/2016 13:02

Profligate?

PhwoarGras · 06/08/2016 14:10

PRETIOSUS

Viper I could kiss you!

My morning has been ruined by trying to remember this ruddy word. It's not in any of my dictionaries and I couldn't find it online Angry

Now I can finish my report because of course I couldn't continue with it until I remembered the word so it has been on hold for 5 hours Hmm

BrewCakeFlowersChocolate to all, thank you for your help Smile

Cake will suffice, my work here is done.

IcedVanillaLatte · 06/08/2016 14:22

Well I learnt a new word today. Mmm, that new-word smell.

toadgirl · 06/08/2016 15:34

Wow, what a word!!!!

I've never heard of it. I do love to learn new words :)

Hassled · 06/08/2016 15:37

That is one great word. Pretiosus. I'm going to work out a way I can use it in every day conversation before the day is up.

PhwoarGras · 06/08/2016 17:36

Grin it's a good one isn't it. I've noticed it used lots in the legal world. Usually casually dropped into a sentence by people who probably wouldn't know how to spell it.

I'm now finding Viper's link useful too Smile I don't care if you try to reject my kisses, you're getting them! Made my Saturday slightly easier (apart from the 5 hours I spent stalling).
