descant 28 to reflect, brood, or mull over to make a comment or to discuss at length The contextual meaning and dictionary definition differ from one another; from the context, the word seems to mean "to mull over something," but it actually means "to make a comment."

tendering 48 looking after  to treat with tender regard The contextual meaning is “to look after,” while the dictionary definition more specifically means “to treat with tender regard.”

hearkens 59 to listen  to give respectful attention or to listen respectfully The dictionary definition is more specific than the contextual meaning.

tempers 70 to rile up or provoke to exercise control over or to make something less severe The contextual meaning seems to be "to provoke" or "to rile up," but the dictionary definition is “to control.”

suppliant 79 a request a person who asks for something in a respectful way from someone more powerful The contextual meaning is “a request,” but the dictionary definition refers a person making a request.

livery 85 clothes a uniform worn by servants  The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual meaning.

beseech 89 to ask or beg to urgently ask someone to do or provide something The dictionary definition is more precise than the contextual definition.

enfranchise 115 to free to set free; liberate The contextual meaning is quite similar to the dictionary definition.
