2. (may take a clause as object or an infinitive) to agree, promise, or permit, often graciously or condescendingly he vouchsafed to come yesterday
3. Obsolete a. to warrant as being safe b. to bestow as a favour (upon) [

I was already a follower. Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love to win and choose The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa.
For the FF Blog Hop - The word I had to look up was from David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas. Check it out here
Yeah that one I might of have to look up! But sometimes I can infer the meaning of the word by the context its used in so a dictionary isn't always necessary.
Here's my Follow Friday

I have heard this one before but I don't think I ever looked it up, either skipping over it or using context. It is kind of obsolete though, like the definition says (thank goodness)!
