The following blog has a lot of words to learn to enhance your vocabulary. All words are currently taken from "Word Power" by Reader's Digest. Please check out my other blogs at poetrylighthouse.com and timetogetupclub.com!
canon (n) - guiding principle used as a standard; church decree or law; a collection of sacred books, etc., accepted as genuine. There are other definitions having to do with the church as well. Greek kanon (measuring rod)
Thanks, katyzzz, you're right. There are a couple of definitions I missed. In accordance to literature, a canon can be the recognized genuine works of a particular author, or literary works as part of a school curriculum. In music a canon can be a piece with different parts taking up the same theme successively, either at the same or at a different pitch
