Definition

Word-as-mystery-received-as-ordinance — the utterance that carries more meaning than its surface form can hold, with the excess received as gift rather than constructed by commentary. The -me marks the excess as received-ordinance: the word carries more than its surface because the meaning is bestowed at the interface, not manufactured.
