So I got all of the same definintions as Valerie but these were the ones that I did not get the same as her.
Liaison- (noun) the contact or connection maintained by communications between units of the armed forces or of any other organization in order to ensure concerted action, cooperation, etc
Sublimate- (adjective/ verb with object) to divert the energy of (a sexual or other biological impulse) from its immediate goal to one of a more acceptable social, moral, or aesthetic nature or use
Yes I got the same definition for liaison and for sublimate. I am pretty sure Valerie is right on the definition for sublimate but I don’t know who is right for liaison. What are you using to get the definitions?I am using dictionary.com
Thanks Valerie & E'Ana! I think the two sets of definitions for sublimate and liaison say essentially the same things. I prefer the second set because it's more detailed/specific.
Thanks for posting the vocab!

DeleteThanks!
