It may not necessarily be grandiloquence to use the word interlocutor in casual speech, but if your interlocutors—that is, the people with whom you are speaking—are using it, your conversation is likely a formal one. Interlocutor is one of many English words that comes from the Latin verb loqui, “to speak,” including loquacious (“talkative”), eloquent (“capable of fluent or vivid speech”), and grandiloquence (“extravagant or pompous speech”). In interlocutor, loqui was joined to inter- forming a Latin word meaning “to speak between” or “to issue an interlocutory decree.” An interlocutory decree is a judicial decision that isn’t final, or that deals with a point other than the principal subject matter of the dispute. 临时演讲中使用单词 interlocutor 可能并不是夸大其词，但如果你的对话者——与你交谈的人——正在使用它，你们的对话很可能是正式的对话。Interlocutor 是来自拉丁动词 loqui 的众多英语单词之一，“to speak「说话」”，包括 loquacious（“talkative「健谈」”）、eloquent（“capable of fluent or vivid speech「能够流利或生动的演讲」”）和 grandiloquence（“extravagant or pompous speech「浮夸的演讲」”） .
