Vocabulary terms

I'm trying to expand my vocabulary.  Here are a few oddball terms that I'd like to remember.

aliquot: In mathematics, it is an integer that is a proper divisor of another integer.  (Why did we never use this term in my algebra classes?)  In chemistry, it  is a portion of a total amount of a solution.

afflatus: A divine imparting of knowledge.  (When would I ever use this?)

imprimatur:  Official permission
