Something that’s “germane” (jur-MANE) – from the Middle English for “having the same parents” – is appropriate or relevant.

Example (as used by David Gewirtz in PalmPower Magazine): “I have many secrets, most of which are not at all germane to the topic… and would probably be completely inappropriate to tell.”

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]
