Taña Dalglish
: Even if it were: lapidary: adjective relating to the engraving, cutting, or polishing of stones and gems. Noun a person who cuts, polishes, or engraves gems, a diamond cutter is not referred to as a lapidary; best to use simple, recognized language!

: This is a false cognate between Portuguese and English. In Portuguese 'lapidar' does indeed mean cut, polish (as a stone) and can be used figuratively: 'lapidar seus conhecimentos' > 'hone your skills'
