A to Z Challenge: Decussate

This month brings the A to Z Challenge, which I choose to meet with a series of words that thus far may have escaped your attention, and deservedly so. Today's word is

Decussate
This does not mean to take back your profanity. It means to form an "X," which occurs in nature, as the illustration plainly demonstrates.

  1. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to use decussate in conversation.

  2. Hahaha. I see how you could assume this word means to take back profanity. How strange that it means what it does. Words often defy logic.
