The Drawing Glossary, and the Language of Art

I'm just working on adding some definitions to the drawing glossary, starting off with listing some materials. This could keep me busy for a while, I suspect, especially as I keep going off in tangents, researching things like pigment manufacture and traditional ink recipies.
I'm looking forward to getting into some of the more obscure drawing terms, too. I often take a bit of a swipe at people who misuse art jargon, but it can be very useful, too. If I say that I want the model to take up a contrapposto pose, it would take a couple of sentences to explain with other words. I must confess a fondness for the French and Italian language words that are used in art, like aux trois crayons and sfumato. They sound so much more romantic than 'drawing with three pencils" and "smoky." My favorite word is 'archetypal'. Do you have a favorite art word? Or one whose meaning you never got around to finding out?
