"Selfish and contentious people will not cohere, and without coherence, nothing can be effected."
~Andrew Hall
In that the word "Makebate" is an archaic word, I had a bear of a time find an example of a proper usage, here are some quotes the fit as alternative definitions. The word dates bake to the early 1500's, so I'm guessing that it's usage in modern English is pretty much a rare event.
Although perhaps we should bring it back!
Does the word remind you of anyone?
"Trump relies on his abilities as a MAKEBATE,
to sew contention and quarrels among his cabinet,
all for his own entertainment."
~Me
The word "MAKEBATES" appears in the King James version of the Bible.
It refers to slanderers and false accusers.
2 Timothy 3:3 Makebate is mentioned in the margins.
