So, here's a fun game to play, while learning something new.
How many words do you know that start with "Per"? Well, post the word, the meaning, and then make a sentence with it! I'll go first!
PERFIDY- deliberate breach of faith or trust; faithlessness; treachery -His act of perfidy was magnified by his lack of care in camouflaging his car in her driveway.

Per diem- Literally means- by the day. It most commonly refers to a daily allowance for living expenses (especially while traveling in connection with your job)
The current per diem is far below the actual cost of living for this city.

PERMISCIBLE
Unlike it's homonym permissible.....
Permiscible means something that is "capable of being thoroughly mixed."
Such as stereo recording is permiscible (LOL) or the cake batter was permiscible.
