I just re-read that book. I always thought the word was standard English, but oddly there's no entry on this site (at least) for excession

The word Excession is to me the most absolute , definitive and flawless immunisation unit.
So being, so scary.
No room for interpretation.
When I first encountered it in Iain Banks Culture novel, I did find a reference to it in a popular dictionary.
Nowadays all dictionaries refer only/ primarily to the novel - almost as though the book created the word
That is not the case.
It existed before and a typical Iain Banks “Culture level” prank to create argumentative discourse about his intentions years later.
Amusing.
If you agree, contact me for approval as a “Mind” level conversationalist.
However, If you are either attractive, rich or highly intelligent please wait for our call
