Define the Word Above You!

This thread will use a larger amount of your brain than most threads on the Randomness Forums, as you will have to define a word that the poster above you has written.
You must indicate whether or not you used a dictionary.
You then have to post a word yourself, and list any and all types of words (noun, verb, adjective, etc) that you want defined. If you don't know what type you want defined, then the below poster only needs to give one definition, even if the word can be used in different ways
An example post is:
"Poster1: Leaf (verb)
Poster2: To flick or look through something (Dictionary was used)
Flattery"
My word will be: unassailable.
(Do not flame in this thread).

Define the word "clevland steamer"
That's not a word.
anathema
(noun)
1. Something (or someone) detested
2. A curse involving banishment from the Church (which, believe it or not, has been a very bad thing in the past)
No dictionary used, just what I remember from history class :) . On that topic, but slightly easier, define "benediction".
