New Word


“Exceptional” is an interesting term.  This is a word capable of describing something usually good, say, an “exceptional dancer.”  But you might also see “a riot of exceptional violence.”  In this second illustration, the same word has corrupt connotations.
I would like to propose a companion word possessing but a single positive bent:
Acceptional
adjective
            —the quality of accepting.
“He is an acceptional man and has gladly taken on every challenge presented to him.”
“She was acceptional in her love for everyone.”
