Thanks for the examples! I had to check the words "caprice" and "odious" in my dictionary. and...
It turned out we actually have these words in Russian, and they are pretty common. I did not recognize them immediately because I was confused by the unfamiliar spelling.

Caprice (каприз = kapriz) is pronounced almost the same way, only with 'z' and is one of the most popular Russian words for "a whim".
Odious (одиозный = odiozny) means roughly the same and used mostly in reference to famous historical figures (politics and such). It's a "highbrow" word, but it's often used in media.

Isn't Russian cool?
