Please help. Only a couple of hours before I have to post! Struggling with last one. 5d Rare term meaning to advance majestically (6) ?n?e?e. Thanks

Incede ?

[scotgal]

I think it should be accede as to the throne?

[pbeach]

Accede

accede verb (acceded, acceding) intrans (often accede to something) 1 to take office, especially (as accede to the throne) to become king or queen. 2 to agree � accede to the proposal. 3 to join with others in a formal agreement.

Thank you all for very prompt answers. I think that it looks as if -'incede' -is the right one. Thanks again!

[pbeach]

I can't find incede in Chambers..... and any link with
http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/incede
Note the .us makes me very nervous....

[mazie]

hi pbeach the phrontistery website is for English Obscure words and its listed there, as per my link above

[pbeach]

However Mazie's link seems to be more valid, re, Rare Term...
Interesting.

Hi Mazie, looks like we cross posted :-)

Chambers 9th Edition: . . . "advance majestically"

[JMR27]

hi pbeach - incede is in my Chambers (2000 edition and falling to bits)..."(rare) to advance majestically"

[mazie]

Hi pbeach looks that way :o)

It's a good site to bookmark xx

[pbeach]

I accept the correction :-)
