lecherous

Postby William Hupy » Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:33 pm

What does this say for humans that the above is but one of many words used to describe the same conduct? There are many more: lustful, licentious, lascivious, libidinous, prurient, lewd, salacious, lubricious, debauched, dissolute, wanton, dissipated, degenerate, depraved, dirty, filthy;concupiscent.

Perhaps more than the others I encounter the noun "lecher."
He is an inveterate lecher and dissolute. Just composed the last sentence, and it strikes me as combining a predicate nominative and a predicate adjective. Is this possible?
