Why this word is great
INNODATE — [Verb] To bind someone, especially with the punishment of an ecclesiastical anathema or interdict. From the Latin innōdātus, perfect passive participle of innōdō ("to bind in a knot"), from in- ("in") + nodus ("knot"). Unlike "anathematize," which hurls the curse, or "excommunicate," which expels from communion, to innodate is the sacerdotal act of securing the sinner within the knot of the ban itself. It is the cold weight of a leaden bulla pressed into wax, the constricting pull of a silk cincture drawn too tight, the palpable silence that falls when a name is spoken no more—a sentence not merely declared but fastened. We spend our lives weaving nets of affiliation, only to find the most permanent bonds are those cast to isolate.
