I haven't done this for a long time: as I find words that I like or just think I should know, I will use them so that I don't forget what they mean. If I just read a definition, I forget and end up looking the word up every 3 months or something (e.g. "supercilious"). It makes no sense to me that that doesn't mean silly or superfluous.
I don't like that musician because she seems supercilious in that she acts arrogant and full of disdain when anyone asks her anything. However, she is better than that other musician who just will not yield to any opinion other than his own --- no matter how wrong he may be, or how persuasive others may be -- he is an obdurate person.
