Rfv-sense: "sophisticated" - in what sense? OED doesn't include this. ---> Tooironic (talk) 04:14, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- Added in diff. I can't work it out either, does @Speednat still contribute here? We could ask him/her. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:27, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- A few books with what may be cites: 1, 2, 3, 4. This may correspond to the "skillfully done" sense in Macmillan. Smurrayinchester (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- The first definitions go back to this edit in 2003, and they seem to be verbatim from another dictionary. Perhaps one that is not currently subject to copyright. However they're really poorly worded, by 1913 definitions or 19th century. I would reword them. Oh, and the citations look good. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

- I'm not convinced that an 'accomplished young lady' (as in the citations currently under sense 3) is using a different sense than 'accomplished villain' (or even 'accomplished scholar'), the usex given or sense 2. - -sche (discuss) 01:18, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it's one who has various traditional accomplishments (e.g. playing the piano), hence sense 2. Equinox ◑ 01:21, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
