Oppobrium? Latifundium? Bellicose? Effete? Really? What the fuck is wrong with these people. These words are like paragraphs apart
Edit: just read the term “professional-cum-technocratic ethos” this shit is not normal and the author should be ashamed
Most of those are just normal words
I feel like they were an ascending order of normalcy
Oppobrium? I have no idea
Latifundium? I’m not sure but I guess has to do with latifunda which are like plantations
Bellicose? Warlike from latin, bella being war
Effete? The thing I get called
Latifundium was the area around Rome i think. It now refers to an area with massive plantations (and often times slavery) where a small group of people own massive land areas and use them for cash crops at the expense of everyone who has to work for them. Oftentimes used when describing South America, particularly among leftists who refer to large landowners as Latifundistas (probably didn’t spell it right, I’ve never learned spanish or portugese)

Latifundiário in Portuguese, for us it’s a very common word
Thanks, I know about latifunda in the terms of calling plantations in South America that and Patrick Wyman saying latifunda on podcasts. So I could back form at a guess.
No tf they are not, I have never once heard anyone use any of these before today and certainly not in verbal usage. You connot convince me this isn’t exclusively academic language
