I got "concord", "elide", "elision" and "idyll". I knew "exegesis" but not "exegete".
I'm sure there would have been tons of words not on your list that I would have missed...
"It pays to expand your wordpower" always was my favourite item in Reader's Digest.
I thought that I was pretty literate already. But every profession has their language of the trade.
Most of these words deal with biblical scholarship in some way.
