Word of the Week - Recusant

recusant - (noun)
a nonconformist, someone refusing to obey social or governmental laws. 

Ex: the priest was displeased to discover his star pupil had become a recusant. 

- Taken from the Dictionary of Curious, Obscure, Humorous, Useless and Cherished Words, a rather unco dictionary I've compiled.
