Edna

...to Juvie What better name for one who'd analyze and scrutinize the sources of logomachy, a philosopher who filters truth from lies, our building blocks, the seat of aetiology. A thinker's thinker, one who ponders well the implications of a life-long gleaning, 'composed of' and 'comprises,' just a single cell in her journey to examine every meaning. Though new expressions find their way to dictionaries, they bastardize, dilute the power of language, 'snuck' instead of 'sneaked,' no real propensities to offer something better, (tawdry verbiage!) To communicate with skill, singular fluency takes 'savoir faire,' a knack for etymology!

A pile of words I had to look up but I got the gist of this and hope my verbiage works it's way out of the dictionary; this sure does!
