Digamy? Defunct? Hardly!

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

There is no defeat in peace, love or justice.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I see snow, just enough to make things bright, just enough to please and not enough to bring hardship or more than trifling inconvenience.
If I step outside, I feel the cold, just enough to make me appreciate my warm house and the technology and finances to make it so, not enough to bring anything more than trifling inconvenience.
I know I am blessed. I would not choose to trade my situation, for it is more than enough.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Pharisee, that belief is so 50’s BC-ish.”

D. Blog: You Might be involved in Digamy

[Adapted from Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words website]

A second marriage after the death or divorce of a previous spouse. A
World Wide Words wrote to me to express wonder why this word was not more often used, since many of us are digamists without realising it, and pointe out that it describes a very common and entirely acceptable relationship. Perhaps those few people who have come across it believe it is just another term for bigamy (a sense the word could indeed once have had) or perhaps the ease with which the two words can be confused led to the less common one dropping out of casual use. It does appear on rare occasions in academic works. The word comes directly from Latin digamia, with the same sense, which in turn derives from Greek; its first recorded appearance was in 1635. An alternative that once had the same sense is deuterogamy, though this is now equally defunct.

Speaking of which:

1548, from L. defunctus "dead," lit. "off-duty," from pp. of defungi "to discharge, finish," from de- "off, completely," + fungi "perform or discharge duty."
