Hi Northumberland daughter

Artifice is also defined by Miriam Webster as "Clever or artful skill" not sure what's hidious about that.

Meanwhile Cambridge Dictionary gives the meaning of Artificer as a "skilled mechanic in the armed forces" in modern useage and the archeic meaning as a "skilled craftsman or inventor" Still see nothing hideous there.

Hope this helps a bit. :)

Happy Christmas  ;) ;)

Hello, I guess I should have let that one go.  Googled the words and delivered what I got - nope, I'm not on the sauce.  Google maps are often wrong, too.  Best of the Season to you. ND
