" Malignant narcissism " . Just got done reading an article in Rolling Stone magazine describing Donald Trump. My god- then I got to thinking after I read the article about all the narcissists I've known in my own life ! Including my own 91 year old elder JW dad. The psychological traits these people display are scary and deeply ingrained causing much damage to themselves and others. Word for the day for what I'm researching : narcissism. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Thanks for your contribution, Flipper.
My first husband was a narcissist.
We are still reeling from his hurtful legacy.

General definition and first entry when searching for "malignant narcissist":
Kernberg described malignant narcissism as a syndrome characterized by a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), antisocial features, paranoid traits, and egosyntonic aggression. Other symptoms may include an absence of conscience, a psychological need for power, and a sense of importance (grandiosity).

Addendum is a mechanical engineering term that describes the radial distance from something to something...
I haven't a clue as to what that means.

scutage:
(in a feudal society) money paid by a vassal to his lord in lieu of military service.
Sounds like the JW stand for men's military service in Mexico. I'm with you, Syl, on addendum!
Liege, Belgium, with grave accent over e, rendering the pronunciation lee-ej
