2) occurring in an abnormal part of the body instead of the usual site involved in that function; "vicarious menstruation" => WTF!?!?!
3) suffered or done by one person as a substitute for another; "vicarious atonement"
4) to take a place of another as a substitution. Jesus took the place of sinners place vicariously on the cross. Mt.20:28
5) relating to a state of being or an action which is undertaken on behalf of others, usually referring to the humanity or the death of Jesus Christ.
