   What is the need to memorize this word which doesn’t exist on normal daily life activity or even pronouncing the word is difficult unless you have been using them (if u are 200 years old), or to popularize English language.

   i can assure instead of memorizing this outdated word , i could do 10 PhD ,in anything? (this is only for GRE the other are logical and plausible.please correct me if i am not correct.
