TC Boyle words #1

here are 2 words from TC Boyle's "The Inner Circle" I had to look up when I got to work today:

ar·ras n. pl. arras

1. A wall hanging; a tapestry.
2. A curtain or wall hanging, especially one of Flemish origin.

pe·lag·ic adj.

Of, relating to, or living in open oceans or seas rather than waters adjacent to land or inland waters: pelagic birds.

Damn that TC Boyle and his fancy words! more to come, I'm sure
