Encountering of Word-During speech class Professor Davis used this word when we were having a lecture on Audience Analysis and Adaption. He used it to teach us not to bring together/fuse things that shouldn’t be conflated.

Understanding-Now i understand how to use this word and how it can save me from bringing things that shouldn’t be together while making an important speech.
