Hello:

---
[the sheriff is approached by angry people]

[...] already a passing car had braked suddenly (and then the
following one behind it) at first to keep from running over them and
then for its occupants to lean out looking at the sheriff’s car where
the first man to reach it had already stopped to peer into it, his
brown farmer’s hands grasping the edge of the open window, his brown
weathered face thrust into the car curious divinant and abashless
while behind him his massed duplicates in their felt hats and sweat-
stained panamas listened.

Intruder in the Dust
William Faulkner

“ divinant": is there any dictionary word for it??

Thanks.

Yes, with a French touch, perhaps.

Thanks.

"abashless" instead of "unabashed"?
