1word1dayacceptation (ăk′sĕp-tā′shən), noun
1. The usual or generally recognized meaning of a word or phrase.
2. Acceptance; favorable reception; approval.
This word was new to me; I ran across it in a document at work.
The author actually meant 'exception' - which completely changed the meaning of the sentence.
A Google search implies the word is more common in religious analyses.
Etymology: same as 'accept'; from Latin acceptare, take or receive willingly.
