Babble is to talk on and on without a particular goal, to bubble at the mouth, but not in a pretty way.
Babble sounds like Babel, the Biblical tower where everyone was talking in their own language.
Everyone was babbling without paying attention to their neighbors, like the kid who won’t stop
talking about his trip to the water park three years ago. A stream (জরপ্রফা) or a brook (শছাক া ন্ী)
can babble, too, but that’s more of a soothing sound of water against rocks. Babies gurgle (to make a
happy sound with the back of the throat), because they don’t have enough words to babble,

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for beguile
Beguile = begal boys in duck tail cartoons were very sly...used to cheat...influence by slyness
means foxiness
BE+GUILE....guile (চাত্ু রয) means cunning (চাত্ু রয)...be guile means to cheat or deceive....
To beguile is to trick someone, either with deception or with irresistible charm and beauty.
You could be beguiled by a super model or by a super con artist.
Beguile doesn't always mean that the person or thing beguiling is tricking you, but there is a
sense with this word of enchantment(জা্ুভুগ্ধ কযা) that takes away the viewer's normal
powers of judgment. A beautiful place or idea can beguile as easily as a person. You might be
so beguiled by the idea of a picnic on the beach that you forgot there are two feet of snow on
the ground.

Imagine boss saying "you be labour" : he is criticizing, verbally attacking
Belabor means to go at something with everything you've got. When you say, "Don't
belabor or agonize (রন্ারূণ ভানরক মন্ত্রণাকবাগ কযা) over the decision," it means, "Move on."
Belabor is made up of the Latin roots be and labor meaning "to exert one's strength upon."
You can belabor a point by using excessive detail, or you could belabor the obvious by stating
over and over what everyone already knows. Belaboring can be a physical attack as well. A
person can belabor or beat the living daylights out of you with a club.

53 | P a g e
split the word bemused into be + amused, when u are amused you are in a state of surprise or
confusion
If you're bemused, you're muddled তারগা পাকান or preoccupied (আচ্ছন্ন). It happens when
you're lost in thought, dazed (ত্ফুরদ্ধ কযা), or overwhelmed (say, on the first day of high
school).
Find the word "muse" inside bemused and imagine being under the spell of one of the muses
of Greek mythology. You're so inspired to write poetry that you can't keep your mind on
work or remember how to get home. Or think Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester, or another cartoon
character staggering (রফস্ময়কয) off with a vague smile after getting hit over the head by a
frying pan and you'll grasp the meaning of a bemused expression.

If you have a knack (্ক্ষত্া) or aptitude প্রবণতা, স্বাভাডবক ক্ষমতা for doing something, you can
say you have a bent for it. Perhaps you have a bent for woodworking (the activity of making
objects such as furniture from wood), creating fabulous (অরফায) desserts ডমিান্ন, or writing
poetry, you are good at it.
The noun bent can also refer to a strong inclination প্রবৃডত্ত, অনুরডক্ত to react to something in a
specific manner. If you have a strong scientific bent, you won't be inclined to believe reports
of alien spaceship landings and Loch Ness Monster sightings. As an adjective, bent describes
someone very determined, and in this case, the word is usually followed by "on." You may be
bent on the kids going to bed early, but they may have other ideas: party in the living room!

BLAND rhymes with BLOND. so blond women gets agree with me or agreeable to my thoughts.
When you have a nasty cold and you’re very congested, food can taste unappealinglybland.
That means dull, flavorless, or just plain ―blah.‖
Bland comes to us from the Latin word blandus, meaning ―mild, smooth, flattering, alluring
(শরাবনীয়).‖ Funny, because today you wouldn't say there's anything "alluring" about
something bland. People still use bland to mean pleasant and tranquil (প্রান্ত), but it more
often has a negative connotation. Use it to describe plain old oatmeal (a grass-like cereal
plant, or its seeds which are used in baking and cooking and also to feed animals) before
you’ve added brown sugar and berries to it, or to depict (রচত্র ফণদন কযা) the forgettable,
uninteresting personality of the lunch lady who served it to you.

The verb bludgeon developed from the noun form. It means to strike repeatedly with a heavy
club or similar weapon. If you have a cockroach (শত্রাকাকা) invasion (আিভণ) in your

(noun) purging the body by the use of a cathartic to stimulate evacuation of the bowels
Use the noun, catharsis, to refer to the experience a person can have of releasing emotional
tension and feeling refreshed afterwards.
Conceived by Aristotle as the cleansing effect of emotional release that tragic drama has on its
audience, catharsis stems from a Greek verb meaning "to purify, purge." Today, it can be used
to describe any emotional release, including a good long laugh or cry that is followed by a sense
of balance and freshness afterwards.

cause. If you are the champion of fund raising, you keep pushing to raise money. As a verb, to

defending him against meanies (শরাবী শরাক) — no matter what, you are always on his side.

(adj) abstaining from unlawful sexual intercourse
Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for chaste
CHASTE:make it cha + taste. it implies that the cha(tea) is tasteful bcoz all the ingredients of it
are pure.
it sounds like chest.the boy who never touched the chest/breast of a girl is really pure
If you belong to a chastity club, you might have to take a pledge (অেীকায) to be chaste until
marriage. Chaste can be defined as "pure and virtuous (ধাচভব ক)," but basically it means
"not having sex."
This word is related to the Latin source of the verb castrate "to remove a man's testicles," so it's
definitely related to sex. And chaste is from the same Latin source as the noun caste "a
Hindu social class separated from other classes." So the word chaste means no sex, and the
word caste means pure and virtuous.

your popular classmate to be the student council leader if he or she is actually a cipher,
someone who can't do the job effectively.
Cipher comes from the Arabic sifr meaning "nothing" or "zero" and came to Europe as a
word along with the Arabic numeral system. As early codes substituted numerals for letters
to hide the word’s meaning, codes became known as ciphers. If you crack a cipher, you break
the code enabling you to understand the message. An encoded message is also called a
cipher. Send one to your friend if you don't want anyone to know what you're saying!

Example Sentence

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for circuitous
circuit-ous -> like circuit;
Circuitous means indirect or roundabout. If you're in a hurry to get to the hospital where your
wife is having a baby, you want to take the straightest, fastest way, not a circuitous one!
Circuitous comes from the Latin word circuitus meaning basically "a going around." If you're
being circuitous it's like you're going around and around in circles. It can also refer to someone's
manner or speech, if they are not being direct. For example, if you want someone to get you
another piece of cake but just you sit there looking longingly(ক্ষু রধত্ , গবীয আগ্রূচক, আকাঙ্ক্ষা)
at your empty plate, saying "More cake sure would be nice," then you're being circuitous. And
annoying.

usually in an unwilling way and often in the context(প্রঙ্গ,কথাপ্রঙ্গ) of a competition, as in "At
midnight, the candidate finally conceded defeat."
In its most common senses, a near synonym of concede is acknowledge স্বীকার করা ––if your mom
is pointing out that you need sleep before the test, you should concede the truth of what she's
saying. But another meaning of concede is to give away or grant something: The leaders are not
ready to concede power. Concede is from Latin concēdere, from the prefix com- "completely" plus
cēdere, "to go along, grant, yield." The corresponding noun is concession (রকছু ুরফধা শ্ওয়া).

concur, you agree with someone about something or let them know you approve. "I concur" is a
formal (and sometimes humorous) way of saying "I agree!" or "I hear that!" Also, two events that
happen at the same time can be said to concur. People are happy when good things concur, like
when a birthday and nice weather happen at the same time.

Definition
(noun) a coming together of people
Synonyms : concourse
it means ~ the place where two rivers flow together and become one larger river !! so above
mnemonics are all wrong. Confluence = Come(con) + flow (together) :)
Confluence means a flowing together. In a literal sense, it's about rivers. But it's more often used
to talk about the coming together of factors or ideas, or of cultures in a diverse city.
Con- means "with," and -fluence sounds like "flow." When things come together like rivers do,
flowing from entirely different places, you call that a confluence. 87 | P a g e

Have you ever noticed how when one person yawns(াই), the people around him tend to do so
as well? This phenomenon can be described as a contagion, the spreading of an emotional or
mental state (in this case, fatigue ক্লাডন্ত,অবাে).
Contagion can apply not only to the spread of emotions but also to the spread of disease. If
you’re feeling sick, you should stay home to reduce the risk of contagion. (Be sure to use the
word contagion when you call in sick; it’s a great opportunity to impress people with your
vocabulary.) Contagion is akin(একজাতীয়,রগাত্র্,ররক্তর ম্পকজ যুক্ত, ররক্তর ম্পকজ যুক্ত) to the word
contagious, an adjective describing things that spread from person to person, like certain
diseases... and yawning.

Example Sentence
A conviction is something certain: a judgment of guilty in court and a strong belief are both
convictions.
In the legal world, when a judge or jury convicts someone of a crime — finding them guilty
— this is called a conviction. Prosecutors (a legal representative who officially accuses
someone of committing a crime, especially in a court of law) try to get convictions, and
defense attorneys try to prevent them. Also, convictions are beliefs — principles. The
United States was founded on many convictions, such as the belief in free speech and
separation of church and state.

If you CALL you take it; if you cull you reject it.
To cull means to select or gather. If you decide to make a literary anthology, you must cull the
best possible stories and then arrange them in a pleasing manner.
When you use cull as a verb, the things you gather can be the good or bad ones from a group. In
your garden, you can cull the good vegetables for dinner, or the rotten ones for the compost pile.
In fact, often no judgment of quality is made, as when you cull information from the Internet for
your next research project. However, if you use the word as a noun, a cull is a selection of things
you intend to reject, often in reference to a group of animals. An outbreak (প্রা্ুবদাফ) of a disease
such as foot-and-mouth disease can cause authorities to order a cull of farm pigs.

When you defile something, you make it dirty or make it lose its purity. Think of fresh

For something to be defiled, it first must be pure. You can't defile a garbage dump or a
messy(দনাংরা,অপডরষ্কার) room. Defile is often used in a religious context. If you 103

Defunct ভৃত, অরকরজা , চফরুপ্ত de·funct [di fúngkt]
dead; no longer in use or existence
Defunct describes something that used to exist, but is now gone. A magazine that no
longer publishes, like Sassy, the girl-power mag from the '90s, is defunct, for example.
Although defunct comes from the Latin word defunctus meaning "dead," it's not usually
used to describe a person who's no longer with us, but rather institutions, projects,
companies and political parties — you know, the boring stuff. Keep digging and you'll
find that defunctus comes from defungi, meaning, "to finish," which is closer to how it's
used today. Defunct can also refer to a rule or law that's no longer used or has become
inactive, like prohibition.

If you are a C student, and your guidance counselor tells you to apply to MIT and Harvard,
his advice may be delusive, or not based in fact, giving a false impression.
Your delusive hopes might tempt প্রুব্ধ করা you to look away from reality, but if you believe
delusive statements, you are deluded (প্রত্াযণা কযা , শবারাকনা). What you believe in might
be called a delusion. All of these words come from the Latin deludere which means "to
play false, deceive." Also related to this word: Ludicrous (াযকয). When you fall for a
delusive idea, you are sometimes seen as ludicrous.
(Tag: ) Sounds like Dell. My Dell machine is crashed. Now I want to INVESTIGATE
why it is crashed?
The verb delve means to dig into, loosen, or investigate. She delved into her family's
history and discovered an inventor, a checkers champion, and a circus equestrian(দঘা়িা চ়িা

Delve has a literal meaning of to dig into the earth ("to delve the soil," as in preparing a
garden, for example), but this sense is rare now. The verb is most often used in the more
figurative sense — like to delve into a problem or into someone's personal life.

Demise is mostly used in medical or legal language, or when someone wants to sound
either formal or euphemistic (শ্রুরত্ক ু ক্য রযফকত্দ শকাভরত্য ক্য প্রকয়াগ). The word

Depose দচু যত কযা, চংানচু যত কযা , দচু যচত ঘট্ারনা de·pose [di pṓz]
dethrone; remove from office; give a deposition; testify
The word almost always associated with an act of deposition is coup (আকরস্মক অবু যত্থান; a
sudden illegal, often violent, taking of government power), meaning a sudden act of
overthrowing (to remove someone from power, using force) of the government. Sometimes
bloodless (describes a military operation involving no deaths), more often not.

Deposition means the act of putting something aside, whether you're putting aside a ruler,
or putting aside পৃথগ্ভারব legal testimony to be used later in a trial. (Put aside- একাক রযকয়
যাখ্া, to save something, usually time or money, for a special purpose, Earmark- to keep or
intend something for a particular purpose)
Deposition and the related deposit get a lot of use. At first their meanings seem unrelated–
–what do mineral deposits on the bathtub drain, putting your life savings in the bank, and a
revolution overthrowing a king have in common? All three involve a process where
something (minerals, money, king) are being "put down."

The discussion devolved into a shouting match
You've probably heard about that organisms evolve(উদ্ভূত ত্তয়া) over time. Well, life is
complicated, and sometimes things devolve instead — to devolve is to get worse instead
of better.
The de- in devolve is a clue to its meaning. When things devolve, they deteriorate,
degenerate, fall apart, go to the dogs, and generally end up worse. When a classroom gets
loud and rowdy (বচচূণদ, উচ্ছৃঙ্খর), a teacher might say the class has devolved. There is
another, less negative, meaning of devolve. You can devolve responsibilities: for example,
the U.S. government could devolve a certain responsibility to the states. The non-negative
meaning of devolve is kind of like passing things on in a will. If I devolve something to
you, you inherit (উত্ত্যারধকাযী ত্ত্য়া) it.

context of sports fans — a fact that may shed some light on the role of sports in today's
society. However, while it's usually acceptable for a devout individual to miss work for
religious holidays, devout sports fans have a tougher(অনমনীয়,নারছা়িবান্দা,শ্রমার্য) time
convincing their boss to let them off for the big game.

Definition
(noun) the termination or disintegration of a relationship (between persons or nations)
Synonyms : breakup
The dissolution of a relationship means that it's broken up or ended. The dissolution of
your band means you better get started on your solo album.
Dissolution comes from the Latin word dissolutio, meaning "a dissolving of something."
Dissolution looks very similar to "dissolve," so to help you remember the meaning, think
about what happens if you put paper in water — it breaks apart. A dissolution of a
marriage is the same thing as divorce. Although it sounds like disillusion(চক্ষু খুডয়া দেত্তয়া,
দমামুডক্ত), if you try to use them interchangeably, your logic will fall apart.

Example Sentence
Whatever it is, when you divest something, you get rid of it.
Divest is sort of a fancy way to say ―dispose of.‖ It’s often used in a business context to
describe companies or governments that divest some of their holdings by selling them off.
It can also be used in the sense of taking something away (remove) from someone. For
example if your boss becomes insane (উন্া্) and power mad, his handlers (িীডারক্ষক)
may divest him of his title, meaning his position is taken away from him.

If you dote on someone, you shower (ফলদণ কযা) them with love and attention. Sounds like

Parents that dote on their children too much might find themselves in trouble down the
road; all that unadulterated devotion is a surefire (certain or likely, especially to succeed)
way to spoil your kid. No wonder dote is related to a German word that means "to be
foolish." That connection might also explain the use of dote to mean acting senile
(ফাধদকযুরব) in one's later years.

(verb) talk in a monotonous voice

A drone is a male bee whose only job — and only purpose in life — is to fertilize the
queen bee's eggs. That's why some workers who do their jobs robotically, not trying to
innovate but just get through each day, are sometimes, and negatively, called drones.
Drone can be a noun and a verb: it is both a low, monotonous sound, like the drone of a
boring teacher that makes students struggle to stay awake, and the act of making that
sound — that teacher drones on and on, never noticing that everyone is staring out the
window. Drone can also refer to a worker whose low level of ambition suggests he or she
will never rise through the ranks to become a top decision-maker at the company.

Your ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your "self." If
you say someone has "a big ego," then you are saying he is too full of himself.
Poor ego, it gets such a bad rap, being so often confused with
"megalomaniaডনরজরকব়িবালডক্তলাীবডয়াভাবারবাডতক " and "vanity(অংকার,আত্মগবজ)" and
all kinds of other nasty things, but strictly speaking it is only a psychological term

awareness of one's own identity and existence. Nothing wrong in that, is there?

An ejaculation is either the discharge of semen that happens when a man has an

"Hey!"
Ejaculations are sudden and explosive. One type of ejaculation is the male orgasm, when
semen is propelled from the penis. The other type of ejaculation is verbal. "Stop!" and
"Wow!" are examples of ejaculations. People make ejaculations when they're excited or
have something important to say. Ejaculations are also called interjections. They often
interrupt, and they're usually full of emotion. Duh, yikes, holy cow, and d'oh (as in Homer
Simpson's D'OH!) are all ejaculations.
Elliptical বিম্বাকৃবত el·lip·ti·cal [i líptik'l]
synonyms : elliptic
(adj.) Elliptical language has parts missing, so that it is sometimes difficult to understand:
(Tag: ) elliptical means oval,which is not straight.If a person is not straight in his speech.
That means he has omitted words and is unclear
The word elliptical is derived from the oval shape known as an ellipse. Many comets
(র্ূমরকতু ) have an elliptical orbit around the Sun that brings them closer at some times and
farther away at others.
The adjective elliptical refers to the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle,
stretched into an oval. While it is a mathematical shape, it also is used to describe a way of
speaking that cuts out extra, unnecessary language. When this style is used (say in a poem
an elliptical style) — because it doesn't shed any light on the meaning — it sometimes
makes the work obscure and hard to interpret.

emancipated, he or she is declared independent from parental control.

(adj) having unsuitable feminine qualities
Synonyms : cissy , effeminate , epicene , sissified , sissy , sissyish
When you emasculate something or someone, you take away its strength. Some people
believe that having a tough female boss can emasculate male employees.
The Latin emasculatus literally means "to castrate(জননলডক্ত নি করা,দখাজা করা)," though it
is usually used figuratively, the same way emasculate is sometimes used to suggest a man
isn't very manly. You may have seen bullies(েুবজরর উত্পী়িক,ভা়িারে গুণ্ডা)
hassle(ঝগ়িা,মারামাডর) a guy, saying he can't beat up anyone, or hit a curveball, or. . .you
get the idea. Such emasculating is also insulting to women because it suggests strength
and female are opposites.

The word entail is connected to the idea of preconditions. If you want something, you

The adjective equable means "not easily irritated" or "steady," like someone's equable
manner that makes everyone instantly feel comfortable.
To correctly pronounce equable, accent the first syllable: "EK-wah-bul." It comes from
the Latin word aequabilis, meaning "equal, consistent, uniform." An equable person isn't
moody. You wouldn't expect him or her to fly into a rage(প্রচণ্ড দক্রারর্) one minute and be
humming(গুাঁজনকর,গুণ গুণ লব্দ) a happy tune the next. Instead, someone who is equable
takes things in stride(an important positive development:) — the good, the bad, and the
ugly, with a smile and the occasional reminder that "this too shall pass."

Definition
(adj) having no fixed course
Example Sentence

The adjective erratic describes things that are unpredictable, unusual, and that deviate
from the norm(আেলজ,প্রথাডদ্ধ আচরণ). An erratic quarterback might completely confuse
his receivers waiting for a pass.
Like its linguistic relative, error, the adjective erratic means "deviating from the norm,"
or "wrong." It also implies behavior or qualities that are unpredictable or odd. The word
comes from the Latin verb errare, or "to wander(ঘুডরয়া দব়িারনা)" off course. In the field of
geology, a rock that is erratic is unlike others in its environment because it has been
transported(পডরবাডত,দ্রৃীপান্তডরত) by glacial(তু ার ংক্রান্ত, বরফ-ংক্রান্ত) activity. Likewise,

You can see the word spouse in espouse, so you may be wondering what husbands and
wives have to do with it. Originally espouse did mean "to marry," but its meaning has
evolved to include other long-term commitments as well, such as support for a principle or
a cause. Similar to marriage, if you espouse a belief system, the idea is that you've chosen
to wed yourself to it.

Esteem is all about respect and admiration(তাডরফ,শ্রদ্ধা,,প্রলংা). If you have high self-
esteem, it means you like yourself. When you say, "My esteemed colleagues," you are
saying you have nothing but the highest respect for them.
Esteem derives from the same Latin word that gives us estimate, and back in the day,
esteem, like estimate meant "to assess, or judge the value of something." That sense
lingers(যাইরত দেডর করা,) today. When you say you hold someone in high esteem, it means
you give them a high value. Unless you're a politician, in which case, when you say, "I

Fidelity is the quality of being faithful or loyal. Dogs are famous for their fidelity.
Fidelity comes from the Latin root fides, which means faith, so fidelity is the state of being
faithful. Marital fidelity is faithfulness to your spouse. If you're a journalist, your reports
should have fidelity to the facts. Someone without fidelity to a religion or group belief is
called an infidel.

(Tag: ) U FLINCH to pinch someone
To flinch is to react to pain by wincing(িু ডচত ত্তয়া), pulling away, or cringing. Often it's
used to describe a person who shows a moment of weakness or fright: he was so tough, I
thought he'd never flinch, but snakes really freak(খামরখয়া,খাপছা়িা দকারনা ডকছু ) him out.
To flinch is to pull away suddenly or recoil(প্রডতডক্রয়া ডররব এর প়িা, প্রতযাগমন করা,) when
something frightens or hurts you. People flinch at different things. Needles, for example,
cause some people to flinch, while they're not even noticed by others. If you can withstand
something awful(ভয়াব,ভয়ির) without showing it, you're likely to hear someone say
"Wow! You didn't even flinch!" Think of it as a combination of flee and pinch. If you don't
flee when you get pinched, you don't flinch.

the college library can give you a colorless, weary(ক্লাডন্তকর) face, but after a mountain

Florid is an adjective that entered English in the 17th century, via the French floride, from
the Latin flōridus, "blooming(প্রস্ফু টিত,ডবকডলত)." You can probably guess how Florida and
flourish are related! Something overly decorated, such as a really ornate living room, is
florid in the flowery sense, while people with rosy cheeks and a look of healthiness are
florid because they are flourishing(উেীয়মান,জাাঁকান) with a fullness of life. Your florid
complexion matched your florid red drapes as you came in from the cold and plunked down

Your forte is what you would focus on if you decided to enter a talent show. The word forte
actually comes from the similar-sounding Latin word fortis, which means "strong."
Romans (and countless groups since) called the big, barricaded structures they built "forts"
because they were supposed to stay strong and keep out the hordes(a large group of people)
of invading barbarians(অডলডক্ষত দাক). In music, playing forte means playing loud.

The word galvanize was coined(উদ্ভাডবত) to honor the 18th Century scientist Luigi Galvani,
who found that a spark could make a frog's legs move. This discovery led to further studies

use this term much more figuratively, like when they describe galvanizing a political
movement or even a sports team into action.

It's unclear just how long it took for the idea for the website to gestate. Did he think of it
right away, or did it take months for him to come up with the idea?
Frequently, gestate is used to refer to ideas and plans while they're in the development
phase. The idea for a new way to market music to a generation of kids who expect it to be
free was gestating for years before iTunes was launched. A gestation period is the time it
takes for something to be born. Humans, for example, gestate for nine months.
An adjective used to describe that which inspires(অনুপ্রাডণত,উদ্রৃুদ্ধ করা) visions of death and
feelings of revulsion(মরনাভারবর ম্পূণজ পডরবতজ ন), ghastly originated circa প্রায় 1300. It is
very close in meaning to the similarly spelled ghostly. In fact, the word in Old English was
originally spelled gastli. But over the years, people confused gastli with ghost, began to
adopt the gh- spelling. But don't you forget the "h" - that would be a ghastly spelling error

it, or try to overcome it.
If you trace the word grapple back to its French roots, you’ll discover that the word
originally referred to "a grape hook," a pronged tool used to harvest grapes(আঙ্গুর). If you
think about how awkward(অুডবর্াজনক) it would be to harvest grapes, with the individual
grapes ready to scatter everywhere, it makes sense that grapple eventually
evolved(অডভবযক্ত,প্রূত) to include a verb form used to describe struggling with something
unruly(উচ্ছৃঙ্খ,অবার্য). You might grapple with a budget shortfall, grapple for answers,

The verb grate entered the English language in the fourteenth century by way of the French word
grater, meaning ―to scrape( কল ফা শচঁ কছ ভৃণ ভান ককয শ্ওয়া).‖ Using grate in this sense, you might
grate your teeth or grate a carrot (গাজয), meaning rub or pulverize(গুাঁ়িা করা).
By the sixteenth century the word had taken on the additional meaning of ―sound harshly‖ and
―annoy.‖ This evolution makes sense if you think about it: If you’ve ever had anything really
annoy you

Graze means "to feed on grass" as sheep, horses, cows, do in a meadow(তৃ ণবহু দক্ষত্র্) —
they eat a little at a time, but constantly. People sometimes graze too, munching(কড়্মড়্

touch lightly,‖ like when I pitch a baseball to you — and I accidentally hit your arm. With
luck, the ball only grazed you, meaning you aren't hurt at all.

Not all grilling involves fire and delicious food. Sometimes, to grill means to ask a person
really intense questions, like when you suspect them of doing something wrong and you
want to make them confess(স্বীকার করা) the truth.
Ever seen a film where a police officer puts a bright light in a criminal’s face and
screams(তীক্্ন আতজ নাে, ডচত্কার), ―Did you do it?‖ That’s how you grill someone. You
have to be tough on him, and not let him off the hook too easily. Being grilled means you
are in the ―hot seat,‖ and it’ll feel like you’re cooking from such a close examination. Better
to grill than be grilled, but if you get caught — think of an alibi, quick!

Being attacked by a hungry shark or being chased by an unruly mob (াধাযণ শরাক) on the streets can be
described as harrowing, which means "provoking feelings of fear or horror."
The adjective harrowing is often used to describe a firsthand (If you experience something first-hand, you
experience it yourself) experience that is terrifying, such as a harrowing drive home in icy weather, but it can
also refer to a secondhand (not new; having been used in the past by someone else) experience, such as
reading or watching something that is very frightening or disturbing.
For example, if you bump into (to meet someone you know when you have not planned to meet them) a
shark while swimming, that’s merely scary. If the shark attacks you, then it becomes a harrowing ordeal

Impersonal can be good. An impersonal rejection is easier to take than one that specifies
precisely why you, in particular, are a reject. But if your class is so impersonal, your
teacher doesn't even know your name, that’s not good. A wedding that doesn't include
details about the bride and groom would be impersonal and maybe more like a business

The verb implicate means "to connect or involve in something." For example, your cousins
might implicate you in the planning of a big party for your grandparents.
Implicate comes from the Latin word implicare, meaning "to entwine, involve." When you
implicate someone, you bring him or her into a group or to pitch ষ্টনষ্টদষি স্থায়ন স্থান কযা in on
a project. Implicate can have criminal connotations when it means "to connect in an
incriminating manner," like when detectives figure out who drove the getaway car in the
bank robbery — that person will be implicated for his or her role in the crime.

Use the adjective implicit when you mean that something is understood but not clearly
stated. You might think you and your boyfriend might have an implicit understanding that
you are going to get married, but it's probably better to talk it through.
A very near synonym of implicit in this particular meaning is the word implied. But the
adjective implicit also means "complete without any doubt," so we can say that we have
implicit trust or confidence in someone. The Latin root implicāre means "to involve or
entangle ঝায়ভরাে জড়ান." Another English word with a more obvious connection to the
Latin is the verb implicate.

Imports are the products shipped into our country from other places. We import Japanese
autos and export our pop music to Tokyo. Import also means to signify something. Is it of
import to our economic security to have so many Japanese imports on our roads?
The origins of the word import are literally "to bring into port." The ratio of imports to
exports is a big indicator of the health of a nation's economy. The word import can also
refer to attitudes or behaviors that come as part of the culture of a place. "New York media

The Latin prefix in- is changed to im when in front of a word starting with the letter p-, but
its meaning "in" or "into" stays the same. With roots in the French word povre meaning
"poor," impoverish means to make poor or drive someone "into poverty." The 2010

owned.

To inaugurate means to start something, to give it a kick off(the time when an activity
starts). The opening day pep rally inaugurates the high school football season.
Inaugurate comes from the Latin word augur, which means taking signs from birds, or
telling the future. The Romans would always look for good omens ূফষরক্ষণ to mark the
beginning of something––a war, or a new emperor’s reign(ানকার,আভর)––so inaugurate
became linked to new beginnings. While inaugurate has long been used in formal contexts,
such as the swearing-in ceremony that inaugurates a President's term in office, inaugurate is
now also used casually. You might inaugurate your marathon training with a long run.

An incendiary device is a bomb. An incendiary statement is, "You're ugly, fat, and stupid."
Both are likely to produce an explosion of one kind or another.
Incendiary means more than flammable. It means explosive. If you are a radical who
changes the world by exciting people and makes as many enemies as followers, you might
be called an incendiary figure. The speeches you give that rile(উত্তযক্ত কযা, মরাষ্টধত কযা)
people up are incendiary. People who set fires are sometimes known as incendiaries but
more often are called arsonists.

(verb) to cause someone to be extremely angry:
Incense means both "to make angry" and a stick that burns slowly and emits a strong smell.
If your new college roommate burns incense in your tiny dorm (a large building at a
college or university where students live) room, you might get incensed and storm out.
How can a word that means a substance that is burned for its sweet odor come to mean
"make very angry"? Both have to do with the idea of burning, and the Latin root incendere,
"to set on fire." A stick of incense must be lit, or set on fire to release its smell. When you
are incensed by something, such as your teacher slamming(a sudden loud noise) you with
homework on the night of the prom, you feel like you are burning with anger.
There have been quite a few incidences of bullying in the school this year. An increased
incidence of cancer near nuclear power stations
16 | P a g e
Incidence means the frequency with which something bad occurs. You’ll hear of
―incidences of cancer‖ or ―incidences of war." You hope the incidence is decreasing, not
increasing.
You might confuse incidence and incident. They sound similar, but incident refers only to
something that happened, not to the frequency with which it happens. After a car accident,
the police file an incident report, which is a fancy way of saying they write down what
happened.
Prevalence means there is a lot of something. If you get a bad grade on a paper for having a
prevalence of typos (a small mistake in a text made when it was typed or printed), you need
to proof read your work more carefully.
The word prevalence comes from the Latin praevalere, meaning "condition of being
widespread or general." The word is often used to describe a phenomenon that is
widespread in a community, like the prevalence of a disease across a country. Prevalence is
another word for "commonness." If there's a prevalence of thefts in your neighborhood, that
means the likelihood of your house getting robbed is pretty high.

The word incident is quite vague অস্পি. It can refer to a humorous occurrence or a violent
one, something that disturbed one's routine or something unusual that happened. If a child
screams তীক্ষ্ন আতষ নাদ in a library, it's not that unusual, but if an adult does, that's an
incident! As an adjective, incident is used in the field of physics to describe particles or
radiation that fall on a surface. The incident light showed how dirty the windows were.

An incubus is someone or something that really drags মেঁ িড়াষ্টন you down, like a so-called
friend who only calls you to complain about her life or a job that you can't stand.
Incubus comes from the Latin word incubo, meaning "nightmare, one who lies down on
(the sleeper)," which describes an evil spirit that crushes people in their sleep, triggering
terrible nightmares and making them feel like they're suffocating(শ্বায়যাধী). In the Middle
Ages, not only did people believe incubi (yes, that's the plural) were real, they passed laws
against these terrifying spirits.

in a court of law, as in a federal grand jury. The grand jury indicted, the man on 12 counts
of murder. Although it's true the boy had stolen cookies from the cookie jar in the past, that
is no reason to indict him out of hand in the present case. There were no witnesses and the

Indifferent is an adjective that refers to a lack of opinion or interest, or being just plain

If you are indifferent about something it means that you don't much care one way or
another. A synonym for indifferent isaverage, and both words refer to situations that call

Latin indifferens, which means "not differing" and in this case it means "not set apart." In

Inductive is a way to describe something that leads to something else, so when applied to
reasoning it just means you collect information and draw conclusions from what you
observe.
Logical types may already be familiar with the word inductive as it relates to reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is a way to make sense of things by making specific observations and
then drawing broad conclusions based on those observations. For example, if you break out

watching the sun rise over the mountains to inebriate me." The Latin root, inebriatus,

Insinuate means you imply (অভান, আনিনি প্রকাল করা) or suggest something that may or
may not be true. If you say things seemed to go wrong about the time your brother took
over, you insinuate that he had something to do with the decline.
There's another way to insinuate. Suppose you're in line to get into a popular dance club
when a celebrity appears, surrounded by a big entourage (পনরনবষ্টিী). If you strike up (to
start a relationship or conversation with someone) a conversation with one of the
entourage, you may be able to insinuate that you're part of the group and go in with them.
Don't feel bad — people have been doing it at least since the 1520s,
when insinuate evolved from the Latin word insinuare, meaning "wind one's way into."

Some insipid is lacking in flavor or interest.
Insipid comes from the Latin insipidus, the opposite of sapidus which means flavorful (full
of flavor). Because spices and salts are left out, hospital food is usually insipid. The most
common use of the word is in a metaphorical sense for dull or flat (একনঘনয). You might
think that your goody-two-shoes cousin is the most insipid girl you've ever met.

A combination of the Latin inter- (―among‖) and necare (―to kill‖),internecine conflicts are

but also awful(বোফ,বেঙ্কয). Many wars are internecine, as are most Shakespearean
tragedies and Hollywood action films. An internecine meeting would be one where
everyone gets mad, says really horrible things, and then suddenly leaves, plotting revenge.
It’s probably the last meeting for that group, which might be a good thing.

In math, to interpolate means to estimate the value of something given certain data. If you

When you interpolate words into a text, you alter the text by adding words in. Scholars can

author's work, you might want to interpolate a few examples of his writing into your

You can see "timid" in the middle of intimidate, and to be timid is to be frightened or to
pull back from something. When you intimidate, you frighten or make someone afraid. A
pet rat might intimidate your sister's friends, keeping them out of your fort(ক্ষু দ্র দুগষ, ুযষ্টক্ষত

"To frighten" or "make fearful" is at the root of the verb intimidate. An animal might
intimidate a smaller animal by bearing its teeth, and a person can intimidate another by
threatening to do something harmful. You can be intimidated with mental or emotional
bullying(বে মদখায়না), as well as with something physical: "they were all good spellers, but

A junket can be used as a gift to try to get something from the person going on the trip. If you're a
travel reporter and resort owners pay for your junket to check out their new property in Hawaii,
you might feel like you owe them a good review. A junket isn't always devious(কঘারানিা ,
নিযনমি , ভ্রানেময): the word can simply mean a journey taken for pleasure, like when you take
your boat out and sail down the coast for a couple days.

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for ken
ken reminds us of Kennedy=John F Kennedy. What a great range of knowledge he had!!!
ken sounds like "can" (v: able, n: container). A combination of these is: "able to understand"
i.e., range of knowledge.
ken is very similar to den which means place where wild animal live. So, if one having good
ken (range of knowledge) won't go to the den.
Ken is rarely used today outside of the phrase, "beyond one's ken."

Synonyms : center , centre , core , essence , gist , heart , heart and soul , inwardness , marrow
, meat , nitty-gritty , nub , pith , substance , sum

Sounds like KERNEL DEBUGGER in the computer system which is the core
41 | P a g e
Whether it’s the kernel of a pistachio(মস্তা ফাদাভ) nut(ফাদাভ) or the kernel of wisdom in a story,
kernel can refer to the center or essential part of something.
The word kernel traces back to the Old English word cyrnel, which is related to corn. If you
have ever eaten corn on the cob(বু ট্টায ষ্টল), you ate the kernels. Popcorn(বু ট্টায খই) is made by
heating corn kernels until they explode, or "pop." Like these examples, sometimes kernel means
"a small bit" or "single piece," as in a story someone tells you that couldn't possibly have
happened as described, but still has a kernel of truth about human nature

is an important survival skill. It can help keep you warm at night, and keep you from eating cold
beans for dinner.
The verb kindle not only means to start a fire, but also to catch fire. Another meaning for kindle is
to arouse interest or passion. A dynamic music teacher could kindle the students' interest in
learning an instrument. Or, romance can also be kindled: "As they danced together, a spark of
romance kindled between them."

You don't hear about knaves much these days: it's an older word for a rascal(বদমা কাক , পানজ
কাক , লযিাি , দুষ্টু কছন), a scoundrel(বজ্জাি , পানজ), or a rogue. It isn't a compliment.
If you read Shakespeare for long, you'll definitely see the word knave more than once. In
Shakespeare, an important person like a king or a prince might call a thief a knave. Knaves always
tend to be up to trouble such as stealing and getting drunk. You don't want to trust a knave; knaves
lie, deceive, and betray. Today, we might call a knave a scumbag or lowlife.

If you're really good at judo, you will get kudos, or praise and congratulations, for your speed and
strength.
You get kudos for doing something well, whether a class presentation, a chore, or a performance in a
game or recital অবৃনত্ত. Getting kudos for doing something that makes you famous or well-known is
possible too, though it's easier to get kudos just for doing a good job. Kudos looks like a plural noun, but
the s is just the ending of the original Greek word.

62 | P a g e
A malady is an illness, like a malady that keeps you home, sick in bed for days, or
something that causes you to have trouble or to suffer, like jet lag — a malady that affects
travelers.
Malady, pronounced "mal-uh-DEE," comes from the Latin words male, meaning "bad or
ill" and habitus for "have, hold." When you have a malady, it is like something bad is
holding you, such as an illness — the common cold: a malady of winter. Some bad habits
cause maladies, such as never having any money — the malady of people who spend
freely, not thinking of the future.

―Darn (নভলাপ কদত্তযা) you!‖ ―Go bury your head in the sand.‖ ―You ugly nincompoop
(অাম্মক,কবাকা)!‖ Each of those nasty curses is a malediction (and, I’m sure, nothing you
would ever say to another human being).
Mal comes from the Latin for "evil" and "diction(লনের নিবযাচি ও বযবার , বাগনবিযাপ্রোী ,
বাগরীনি)...," and as you may remember, has to do with what we say. So a malediction is an
evil statement directed at someone else. Pretty nasty, if you ask me.
Definition

Example Sentence

e that malign comes from a Middle English word that means "to attack."
Because when you malign someone you're attacking their character or reputation with a lot
of trash talk. That would actually make it appropriate to then describe you as "a malign
influence" — in other words, evil and full of malignant purpose.
MR. MALIGAN IS A PERSON WITH BAD MOUTH

(adj) easily influenced, trained, or controlled:
Example Sentence

আঘাত কযা, ভায়রািনা কযা) out into wire or thread; gold, silver, and platinum are
examples. The adjective malleable dates back to Middle English, from Old French, from
Medieval Latin malleābilis, from malleāre "to hammer," from Latin malleus "a hammer."

Manacle াতকর্য man·a·cle [mánnək'l]
Short Definition : restrain(নিযন্ত্রে করা , ংবৃি করা , ংযি করা , দমি করা , বাগ মািানিা );
handcuff; N.
Definition
(verb) to put manacles around a person's legs or arms:

Example Sentence
They had manacled her legs together.
His arm was manacled to a ring on the wall.
Definition
(verb) two metal rings joined by a chain, used to prevent a prisoner
from escaping by fastening the legs or arms
Synonyms : cuff , handcuff
Example Sentence
The police handcuffed the suspect at the scene of the crime
If a police officer has to manacle your hands behind your back, you're in big trouble.
That's just a fancy way of saying that you've been handcuffed.
Used as a noun, manacle is a synonym for shackle(পানযর কবনড়, াআির কবনড়, ািকড়া),
meaning "a metal chain or band, used to fasten someone’s hands or ankles together."
You’re more likely to see the noun form of this word in its plural form manacles, since —
like socks or mittens(দিািা নবনল) — a pair is usually required. (Quite unlike socks or
mittens, manacles are not at all comfortable or pleasant to wear.) You can say that
someone who has been restrained using manacles has been manacled.

Choose the verb manifest when someone shows something for everyone to notice. You
might manifest your dislike of school food by stirring িাড়াচাড়া it around into a big pile of
slop on your tray.
Coming from the Latin manifestus "caught in the act," manifest can be used as an adjective
or a noun as well as a verb. As an adjective, manifest is a formal way to say that something
is apparent(দৃলযমাি , স্পষ্ট , প্রিযক্ষ , প্রিীযমাি) to the senses and is synonymous with evident,
apparent, or clear. If you have strong feelings about something, they will be manifest on

to support them by giving some food on plate
The verb manipulate evolved from manipulation, which back in the 1700s referred to a
method of digging ore(অকনরক). So manipulating something originally only meant
moving or arranging it by hand or mechanically. It wasn't until 1864 that people started
using the word manipulate to describe someone exerting প্রনযাগ করা mental or emotional
influence on others.

buy lemons and sugar, make lemonade(ষ্টিষ্টনয জর মরফুয যয়য যফত) and set up a stand
on the street corner, but only sell a couple of glasses, your profits will be marginal.
Some claim that greenhouse gases have a marginal effect on the environment while others
think that they are changing the world drastically আেতন ফহুরাাংয়. Your parents hope to
see more than a marginal improvement in your grades! These are the figurative uses for
marginal, which comes from the Latin word margo "edge." Literally, the word is used
with things on a border. When you scribble(তাড়াহুয়ড়া কয়য মা ভয়ন আয় তাই মরখা) words in
the blank edges of your textbook pages, those notes are marginal.

Definition
(adj) connected with human activity at sea:
Synonyms : marine , nautical
Example Sentence
Amalfi and Venice were important maritime powers.
Make sure you visit the maritime museum if you're interested in anything to do with
ships or seafaring.
Use maritime to describe anything involving the sea and ships. A maritime museum would
probably be located in a coastal town, and stuffed full of historic boats, oars(কিৌনকার দাাঁড় ,
নগ), life preservers, and fishing gear.
Maritime comes from the Latin word maritimus, which means "of the sea," so the meaning
hasn't evolved(প্রূি , জাি, গজাি) much. Whales and dolphins are maritime animals, and
according to maritime law, the captain of a ship can marry two people at sea. It's very
similar to nautical, except nautical refers to ships, and maritime covers ships and other
ocean-related stuff.

Marshal derives from the Old French mareschal, for stable officer. The stable officer had
charge of the horses, tending(ষ্টযিমষা কযা, মত্নফান্ ত্তো মকান রয়ক্ষয িাষ্টরত ত্তো, মঝােঁকা) to
them, putting them in order, readying them for action. If you are a marshal, you're an
officer. If you marshal yourself, you get yourself ready, preparing for action.

maverick, and individual actions that stand out are maverick, as in "her maverick jumping
style on the ice was both wild and delicate ূক্ষ্ম."

Mesmer, who believed that all people and objects are pulled together by a strong magnetic

Definition
(adj) highly abstract and overly theoretical
Example Sentence
metaphysical reasoning
Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for metaphysical
meta + physics -> suffix 'meta' means change.. so if physics keeps changing, it means the
topic is only theoretical and cannot be proved practically..
meta = data about ~ data about physics? means to understand and study existence of life and
nature of reality
Add the Greek prefix "meta-" (beyond) to the base "physical" (nature), and you get
metaphysical — a near synonym to the Latin-based word "supernatural." Both concern
phenomena that are outside everyday experience or knowledge.
The adjective metaphysical entered the English language through Aristotle, whose
"Metaphysics" is a collection of treatises(িু ষ্টক্ত,প্রফন্ধ,ষ্টনফন্ধ) that follows his work, "Physics."
"Physics" concerned natural philosophy, what we call science today, while "Metaphysics"
dealt(মভাকাষ্টফরা) with more abstract questions about the reality beyond what we perceive
with our senses. Look at a physical object, say an apple. At what exact point did that apple
come into existence? If you eat it, does it cease ক্ষাে ওযা to exist, or does it still exist but
in a changed way? These are metaphysical questions.

(adj) the rhythmic arrangement of syllables
Synonyms : measured , metric
83 | P a g e
If the ruler you use is marked with millimeters and centimeters, you can say you use
metrical measurements.
The adjective metrical is a less common way to say metric, as in the metric system of
measurement. Instead of using inches and feet, a metrical system uses centimeters and
meters as units for measuring length. Most countries measure metrical distances, size, and
lengths, although the United States doesn't. The root of metrical is the Greek word metron,
which means "measure."

(adj) habitually moving from place to place especially in search of seasonal work

migratory workers
A migrant worker is someone who travels for a job––in the U.S., many farm workers
migrate from Mexico every year to work on the harvest and then return home when their
jobs are over.
If you have traveled into a new country, you are said to have immigrated there, and you are
an immigrant(নভবাী). An emigrant(ফাস্তুতযাগী,মদান্তযী,অনযয়দফাী) is someone who has
left. Migrant doesn't refer to whether you are coming in or out––often it means someone
who often travels back and forth, like migrant birds who migrate south every winter, year
after year.

Animals that change locations with the seasons are said to be migratory. Ruby-throated
hummingbirds are migratory. They spend winter in the warmer climate of Mexico,
Central, and South America and then return to the eastern United States in the spring.
People who move from place to place in search of work are said to be migratory. The
adjective is often used in combination with the noun workers. In the United States,
migratory workers travel from state to state to help bring in the harvest, often with whole
families traveling together. After a cold winter, you might want to be a bit migratory
yourself: you could move south to Florida in the winter and return north to Ottawa each
spring.

If the first section of the newspaper you read is the obituaries(ভৃতু্ ু মাংফাদ), you could be
considered morbid. Morbid is a word used to describe anyone who spends too much time
thinking about death or disease.
A lot of English words relating to medicine and science come from Latin, and the
adjective morbid is one of them; it comes from the root morbidus, meaning "diseased" or
"sick." Morbid can also be used to describe other nouns besides people. If you wear Goth
(অবয ফযষ্টক্ত, ফফষয)clothing, your wardrobe might be described as morbid. And if you
hang tombstones on your walls, your taste in art could also be described as morbid.

Something that is moribund is almost dead, like the moribund plant you didn't water for
months, or so without change or growth that it seems dead, like a moribund town that
seems trapped in the 1950s.
In Latin, mori means "to die." You probably recognize this root in words like mortal
(মরেলী), mortician(ৎকায ফযফােী), and mortuary (মৃিুয ম্বন্ধীয). Moribund means "near
death," but it can also mean something that is coming to an end, nearly obsolete (পুরাি),
or stagnant (নস্থ্র).
But morbid comes from the root morbidus, meaning "diseased" or "sick." Morbid is a busy
adjective, going from dark to darker describing terrible things such as anything related to
disease –obesity(মভদফহুরতা), insanity(উন্াদ মযাগ, াগরায়ভা), the plague - or
unwholesome(অস্বাস্থযকয,মযাগজনক) thoughts.

object that keeps popping up in a story — these are all motifs, reoccurring(happens over and
over) elements that move throughout and shape music, art and novels.
This French import is related to the Latin verb movere which means "to move." Think about a
pattern or design that moves throughout something when you hear motif. Have you ever been to
a restaurant with a tropical or wild-west motif? Do you like dresses with a floral(ুষ্পয়াষ্টবত)
motif? In novels, a motif can be a recurring(আফতষ ক) idea like revenge or object that symbolizes
an idea. A character might notice shadows throughout a story which symbolize his dark past.

Oftentimes, we create the muddles in our lives, so it’s appropriate that muddle can be used
as a verb meaning ―to mix up‖ or ―confuse.‖ Conveniently, though, the word muddle also
describes a way out of difficult situations; to muddle through a troublesome task is to
somehow figure it out, even if you don’t quite know what you’re doing. It has been
suggested that muddle comes from an old Dutch word meaning ―to make muddy.‖

posing as his mundane alter ego (the side of someone's personality which is not usually
seen by other people), Clark Kent."
Mundane, from the Latin word mundus, "world," originally referred to things on earth.
Such things were supposed to be uninteresting when compared to the delights of Heaven;
hence the word's present meaning.

One of the most famous mystics in history is Nostradamus, who some people credit with
predicting events like the French Revolution and the atom bomb. Whether you believe in
mystics or not, the word is not just used to describe people. When something is mystic, it has
to do with religious mysteries and practices or it simply inspires a sense of mystery or
wonder, like the Himalaya Mountains, which some people consider a mystic place.

No one likes being called naive, since it means you lack sophistication or street smarts.
A person who is too trusting can be criticized for being overly naive: "You're so naive, you think that
e-mail from the Nigerian prince is really going to make you a million dollars!" Naive shares the same
root as native, and originally meant "natural" or "not artificial." It can still be used in a more positive
meaning when describing a charming lack of artificiality, as in "the naive style of folk art made by an
untrained painter."

If you know what a nettle is—that is, a barbed seed that gets stuck in your clothes and hair—then

A kid sister, a mosquito, an angry boyfriend, or a hot, muggy day: all of these are examples of things that
might nettle a person. When you nettle someone, you act like a nettle; you annoy, bother, and generally
tick off a person. The person who nettles you can be called nettlesome, which means that they're acting
like a nettle. I find that the very sound of his voice nettles me. The sound alone makes me wish he would

Try to extract out two words from it... NOSE and NOISE
.. Hence NOISOME is something that makes NOISE in our NOSE
If you accidentally leave half a sandwich under your bed for a few days, cover your nose while
you sleep because it will probably become quite noisome. This is a fancy way of saying that it will
stink.
Despite that first syllable, this adjective doesn’t have root origins in the word noise, but is related to the
word annoy. Noisome can refer to anything unpleasant or anything that makes you nauseous. However,
it is most often used to describe bad smells. So spray some air freshener, open the windows, and clean
out under your bed!

Nostrum refers to a cure-all, a drug, or a medicine that is ineffectual. Before drugs were regulated by
the government, there were many nostrums sold to the public. ―Snake oil‖ is one of the most well-
known. Said to cure any ailment from achy joints to hair loss, snake oil concoctions (নমনশ্রি ির

school?

Ominous, and the related word omen both come from the 16th century Latin word ōmen
"foreboding." However, unlike omen, which is a sign of something good or bad to come, ominous
always describes something unpleasant or threatening. If the future looks ominous, you've got
nothing to look forward to. Figuratively, an ominous sky or ominous clouds promise rain or a storm.
If you see an ominous frown (to bring your eyebrows together so that there are lines on your face
above your eyes to show that you are annoyed or worried) on your boss's face, you're in trouble!

opaque to X-rays
Definition
(adj) not clearly understood or expressed
Synonyms : unintelligible
Use the adjective opaque either for something that doesn't allow light to pass through (like a
heavy curtain) or for something difficult to understand.
Opaque is from a Latin word meaning "dark," and that was its original sense in English, but it now
means literally "not transparent" or metaphorically "hard to understand; unclear": "Some of his
sentences are really opaque." It used to be spelled opake, which made the pronunciation clearer, but
we then borrowed the more opaque French spelling.
Come to think of it, English spelling is often pretty opaque, which makes it hard for learners of the
language to master.

An ordained minister is one who's been appointed to the job by a special church authority. If
you've ever had to sit through a lecture about the evils of too much TV, you know that a person
doesn't need to be ordained in order to preach.
When you say that people have been ordained, you usually mean that they've been invested with
special powers. After a priest has been ordained in the Catholic church, he can perform sacraments.
Such priests are higher up in the church hierarchy than others, and those below them can be called
their ―subordinates,‖ a word also related to ordain.

A teacher may oust you from class if you are being disruptive, or you might oust your class
president from her position if you beat her in the election. To oust is to “expel,” “kick out,” or
“remove and replace.”
When you oust someone, you are ―giving them the boot.‖ A sports team is ousted from a tournament if
they lose an elimination round. Oust often implies both removal and replacement. The automobile, for
instance, ousted the horse as the preferred means of travel. Likewise, when a politician ousts someone
from office they are taking that person’s place in office.

The adjective outgoing describes someone with a friendly, easy personality. Your
outgoing friend might not understand how hard it is for shy people to speak in front of
an audience.
If you're the only member of your outgoing family who is reserved, you might feel silent
and invisible in their sociable midst. People who are outgoing are perfectly comfortable in
social situations. A completely different meaning of outgoing describes someone who is
departing, like an employee who will soon retire, or an outgoing club treasurer who isn't
running for re-election.

The adjective overbearing typically describes a person who is haughty and dictatorial. Someone
considered to be overbearing or arrogant would unlikely also be called ―kind‖ or ―modest,‖ which
are antonyms of overbearing. Overbearing also means ―repressing‖ or ―overwhelming.‖ Thomas

theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, then and only
then will truth, prevail over fanaticism.‖

that you won't have to pay your tickets. There are also more literal uses of the word. In baseball,
football, and other games that involve throwing a ball, you overthrow when you throw the ball past
the person you're aiming for. You can say "the pitcher overthrew the ball to the first baseman," or
"the pitcher overthrew the first baseman."

A pall was originally a coffin’s cloak(kləʊk,আরখাল্লা). Now pall usually means that an
event or situation is — literally or figuratively — covered in gloom, like disappointing
news that casts a pall on your day.
The noun pall comes from the Latin word, pallium, ―covering or cloak.‖ This use of pall
has come to mean "gloom ষ্টফলাদ " like your grandparents' not being there to celebrate with
you that casts a pall over your graduation. The verb pall is used when someone or
something becomes boring or less interesting over time, like your initial willingness to
perform household that began to pall when you realize no one else wants to pitch(ষ্টনষ্টদষি
স্থায়ন স্থান কযা) in to keep things neat.
To have panache is to have a stylish flair(স্বাবাষ্টফক ষ্টফিাযফুষ্টদ্ধ ). You might wear your giant

something with style, you are said to have panache. You might wear your beret
ভী ফা ূষ্টতয কায়ড়য বতষ্টয এক ধযয়নয িযাটা মগার টু ষ্ট with new-found panache. Your aunt

The word parry is often used to describe blocking or evading(মকৌয়র এড়ান) a movement,
like parrying a punch, but it can also refer to an evasion that is verbal rather than physical.
For example, if you are put on the spot and asked about something you’d rather avoid, you
can parry to get out of it — change the subject or ask a question in return. When used in
this way parry retains its sense of defending yourself through evasion.

If something is prejudicial(ক্ষাতূণষ অনুকূর) towards a particular point of view, you can
call it partisan. You'll often hear of the partisan politics in the US — since politicians seem
to be so devoted to either the Republican or Democratic parties.
Partisan can be used to describe rabid(অষ্টতে রুদ্ধ) supporters of any person or activity. In
American English, however, it is most often used to refer to politics and the American two-
party system of Democrats and Republicans. A bill introduced may have partisan support
from the party that introduced the bill, or the bill may even have bipartisan support. The
prefix bi is added to show the support from both parties.

pitch, explaining why something is special: "We use patented technology..." or "Our

If you patronize a business, you shop there regularly. But if someone patronizes you, it's
not so pleasant — they talk to you as if you were inferior or not very intelligent.
Patronize comes from Latin patronus "protector, master," related to pater "father." So if
you patronize a person, you talk down to them like a father might do to his child or a
master to his apprentice. If you want to take an advanced class and your advisor warns you
of all the hard work, you can tell him to stop patronizing you — you know a hard class

Pedagogy and pedagogue come from the Greek paidos "boy, child" plus agogos "leader."
Pedagogy refers to the teaching profession as well as the science of education, for example
as a college subject. This might be one reason that the word, pedagogue, is often used for a
teacher who is overly interested in rules and details, hence the science of teaching, rather
than actually getting through to his or her students.

A pillory is a wooden frame with cutouts for someone's head and hands. Long ago, people

time for punishment but also for public humiliation.
The verb pillory means to be punished by being locked in a pillory, but references to this
form of punishment are historic and it is no longer used — you might see references today
to someone in a pillory in a cartoon. As a modern verb, pillory means both to criticize
harshly and to expose to public ridicule. Someone who is caught doing something immoral
may be pilloried and people who believe they have been unfairly criticized say they have
been pilloried, but often only after they've been exposed!

In Old English, pine meant "to torture or cause to experience pain," which seems quite

your interest or curiosity, here the verb pique just means to arouse, stimulate, or excite.
Both the noun and verb are pronounced "pēk" and were borrowed from a French word

something that pricks you could make you both excited and angry. But it's frustrating––

To pluck is to pick or pull a single item out of many, like a flower or a hair. As a noun,
pluck is energy or enthusiasm, even when things are looking grim(worrying, without

Don't pluck only the best cherries off the tree: that's cherry-picking! Before you cook a
goose যাজাংী, you need to pluck its feathers. If it looks like your goose is cooked,
however, then show some pluck, and figure out a way to save yourself. Some characters
who are famous for showing pluck(to remove someone quickly from a dangerous or
difficult situation) include the Artful Dodger, Little Orphan Annie, and Benji the dog.
They all kept their chins up(something you say to someone in a difficult situation in order
to encourage them to be brave and try not to be sad) and kept on trying, even when things
looked really dark.

your Heidegger seminar may plumb the depths of German Existentialism ভানয়ফয অষ্টস্তত্ব -
ম্বন্ধীে দাষষ্টনক ভতফাদ like Jacques Cousteau plumbed the depths of the ocean.
To correctly pronounce plummet, say "PLUH-met." This verb describes something that
drops sharply or quickly, like a roller coaster that plummets down a hill, temperatures that
plummet overnight, or sales of roses and candy that plummet after Valentine's Day. If
something plummets, this doesn't mean it will stay down or low forever, just that it has
experienced a sharp drop.

Ply means to work steadily at something. If you've got a lemonade stand and you're busy
perfecting your recipe and seeking out customers, you're doing a good job of plying your
trade.
A ship that regularly travels a particular route plies that route. When someone offers you
food or drink, often in hopes of getting something in return, they're plying you: "If I ply
you with cake, will you take my dog for a walk?" The noun ply is very different from the
verb, referring to layers or strands. Four-ply yarn is made up of four strands. Plywood is
made of many layers of wood glued together.

The noun pomposity means super-sized self-confidence. A person who thinks he or she is
better than every else suffers from pomposity — and everyone in that person's life suffers,
too.
Pomposity, pronounced "pahm-POSS-ih-tee," isn't just for arrogant people. Things can
have this unpleasant quality, too. For example, the pomposity (ষ্টনদারুণ আত্মম্ভষ্টযতা) of an
award ceremony that presents the winners and judges as the most important people who
ever lived will leave viewers cold. Language can also be a victim of pomposity — when
someone says, "We dined(মবাজ খাত্তো) at our beloved little bistro(খাফায়যয মদাকান)," another
person would say, "We ate at our favorite neighborhood joint."

The new professor always pontificates
Pontificate comes from the French word pontiff, another word for the Pope, the leader of the
Roman Catholic Church. As a verb (pronounced pon-TIF-i-kate), it meant "to perform the
functions of the Pope or other high official in the Church." The noun pontificate (pronounced
pon-TIF-i-kit) refers to the government of the Roman Catholic Church. Another word for this is
the papacy.

That trickle of sweat didn't just miraculously appear — it was secreted out of a pore, a
really tiny opening on the surface of your skin.
When used as a noun, pore means any tiny hole or opening that allows the passage of
liquid. In humans, pores are the little holes that bring us such pleasures as armpit(ফগয়রয)
sweat and, when clogged, pimples. But when used as a verb, to pore means to concentrate
your attention on or devote hours of focus to something: like poring over the
overwhelming(অপ্রষ্টতয়যাধয) choices in the antiperspirant aisle(কষ্টযয়িায).

Use the adjective posterior to describe something that's in the back. It’s often used in
anatomy — a posterior cerebral artery supplies blood to the back of the brain, and the tail
is on the posterior of a fish.
The prefix post means ―after,‖ and things that are posterior come after the things in the
front. The opposite of posterior is anterior, which refers to the front, usually of body parts.
You can also use the word posterior to jokingly refer to the part of your body that you sit
on — your backside. Posterior is also a formal way to say later in time.

Precipitate usually means "bringing something on" or "making it happen" — and not

Precipitate, as a verb, can also mean specifically, "to fall from clouds," such as rain, snow,

দ্রুতগষ্টত)" or "acting suddenly." If you decide to throw your class project in a trash
masher just because someone in your class had a similar idea, then your actions might
be described as precipitate. Or if you do that sort of thing regularly, you may be a
precipitate person.

Pretext is a false reason given for doing something. If you catch your mother going through

cleaning was her pretext for snooping (to try to find out about other people's private lives;

Sometimes a government will try to take away its citizens' rights under the pretext of
national security. Though pretext sounds like text that comes before other text, the text you
see in it is actually more closely related to the word textile, which meaning fabric. Its Latin
root meant pretty much "to pull the wool over someone's eyes."

Prodigy is one of those wonderful words whose different meanings tell a story about how
the meanings of words bloom over time. The word derives from the Latin prodigium,
meaning an omen or a sign of something to come. Prodigies are kids who often seem so
talented that their success must presage(ূফর

If your life is built on the search for reckless(পরাপর ম্পয়কষ ষ্টিন্তাবাফনাীন , অষ্টযণাভদী ,
অষ্টফয়ফিক , মফয়যাো), sensual pleasure with no thought of possible consequences, then you
are living a life of profligacy, and probably spending a lot of money to get it. How wasteful!
The idea of a loose, dissipated (অিে কযা) life, is seen in the noun profligacy, which
comes from the Latin prōflīgātus, meaning "corrupt or dissolute(কাভাক্ত , িষ্টযত্রীন ,
উচ্ছৃঙ্খর)." It's been said Americans live in a state of profligacy with regard to petroleum use,

A prompt is a cue that gives forgetful actors a hint for their next line, or students the topic
of the essay they will write. It can also be the act of inspiring action, like your letter to the
editor that prompts others to join your cause.
When you prompt someone, you might offer a reminder, some assistance(ােতা), or even
inspiration to do something. For example, honking(মবেঁ ু) your car's horn prompts your
friend to get moving, or your standing up for a classmate that prompts a bully(ভস্তান,তজষ ন-
গজষ ন কষ্টযো াান, বাড়ায়ট গুণ্ডা, দুফয়ষ রয উত্ীড়ক) to change his ways. When you prompt
someone, you expect action now. This sense of speediness is also found in the adjective
form of prompt, as in the prompt response that is required to win a contest.

To promulgate is to officially put a law into effect. Your state may announce a plan to

Laws aren't the only things you can promulgate. The word promulgate comes from the
Latin word promulgatus, meaning "make publicly known." Someone can promulgate
values, belief systems, and philosophies — it just means they're promoted or made
public. For example, you might write an article to promulgate the benefits of eating only
organic foods.

Lying PRONE she is talking on PHONE. (i.e she is lying face down)
The path of least resistance is where you'll find prone: it refers to whatever you're likely to
do.
The Latin root of this word is pronare which means to bend forward, and it's a handy way
to remember both meanings. If you tend to wait to start your term paper until the night
before it's due, you are prone to procrastination(দীঘষূত্রতা) — you bend toward it. If you
stay up so late you fall asleep face down in the book, you are now prone at your desk.

leading figure in a real-life situation: "Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were the
protagonists of the U.S. Civil War." Don't use it to mean "a supporter of an idea or cause";
the word you're looking for in that situation is proponent প্রফক্তা.

If you are provident, that means you plan carefully for the future.
The word provident traces back to the Latin word providere, meaning "foresee, provide."
The word can be used to describe someone who looks into the future — foresees the future,
in a sense — and makes decisions based on future needs. It’s often used to describe a thrifty
(ষ্টভতফযেী) individual who denies himself something today in order to save up for tomorrow,
but it can describe actions as well — such as a provident decision that ends up preventing
ruin down the road.

Mnemonics for purport
180 | P a g e
(Tag: English) PURPORT:PURPOSE
(Tag: ) purport is to extra support for the claim
Use purport when you want to convince people about something that might not be true, like
when you purport that the dog ate your homework.
The verb purport can mean "to claim" — whether you mean it or not — or "to intend," like
when you purport to study all night. So it makes sense that as a noun, purport means the
intention or purpose, like the purport of political candidate's speech was to get your vote. If
the speech was long and hard to follow, you might be lucky just to get the purport, which
here means "the main point or meaning."

(noun) a mild state of nausea
Synonyms : queasiness , squeamishness
A qualm is a feeling of uneasiness, or a sense that something you're doing is wrong, and it sounds
almost like how it makes your stomach feel. If you had qualms about taking candy from the bulk
bins at the store, your conscience probably told you to go back to the cashier and pay.
Qualm entered English in the 16th century, with meanings like "doubt" and "uneasiness." Usually a
qualm comes from doubt about an action and a feeling that you are doing, or are about to do, something
wrong. It isn’t a bad feeling about another person's behavior but about your own. If you have qualms
about lying to get into the over-18 dance club, you might decide to follow your gut-check and meet your
friends for coffee instead.

How to define the word quandary? Wow, this is quite a dilemma. What to do, what to do?
Hmmm. Looks like this moment itself is a quandary: a tough situation that will be really hard to
resolve.
If you’re uncertain what to do because all of your options seem unpleasant, you’re probably in a
quandary. Some voters find themselves in a quandary when they dislike all of the candidates. A
more common quandary is when you plan two events at the same time and can’t decide which one
to attend. Some synonyms are predicament, dilemma, plight, and pickle — and choosing which
word to use is a quandary in itself.

making a speech in front of the entire high school, you have a feeling that it won't go well.
Queasy can also mean feeling sick to your stomach. If you eat a sandwich made of turkey that
expired two months ago, you'll likely feel queasy and throw up. If you feel queasy during a flight,
both meanings of the word can apply: you may be queasy — as in anxious — because you're afraid
of flying. And you may also be queasy — as in sick to your stomach — as a result of the air
turbulence.

Quench originally meant ―extinguish (কিভাি) fires.‖ That meaning still works today, but we've expanded it

passion. If you want to get deep about the word quench, consider what Voltaire said: ―Superstition sets the
whole world in flames; philosophy quenches them.‖

sounds like recap....if you have noticed , whenever you watch a serial ,before it starts they
always give the recap of what happened the previous day,..in other words they repeat what
already has been shown but in a concise form.
To recapitulate means to go back and summarize. At the end of an oral report, you might
say, "So, to recapitulate, I've made three points," and then you name them.
Recapitulate is a long, scary-looking word that actually means something simple and
easy. It comes from the Latin re- "again" and capitulum "chapter," which comes from the
word caput "head." Think of recapitulating––or recapping, for short––as putting nice little
caps on all the bottles you've opened up––tightening everything up.

Teachers often tell students to avoid being redundant — meaning avoid saying something

and over? The repeated parts are redundant. Sometimes being redundant can make things
clear, but it can also be annoying. Redundant can apply to anything that's overflowing
অতততযক্ত or unnecessary. If a business has two stores on the same street, one is redundant.
When you hear redundant, think "Too much!"

(verb) to make an organization or system more effective by
introducing new methods, ideas, or people:
Example Sentence

When you make something young again or give it more life and energy, you rejuvenate it.
For example, you can often rejuvenate a not-quite-dead plant, bringing it back to health
with some water and some TLC.
One way to remember the word rejuvenate is to pick it apart to its heart, the juve. This
juve sounds like juvenile — which refers to youth. Add the prefix re, which means
"again," and the "ate" suffix, which stands for "do or make." Put them all together and you
get "make young again" — the meaning of rejuvenate. We all want to be younger, as
witnessed by all the ads for products that promise to rejuvenate us through special
cosmetics or foods or exercise equipment.

while another kid is given the chance to play.
Relegate rhymes with delegate––both words derive from the Latin legare "send."
Relegate means to send someone down in rank. Delegate means to send someone in your
place to complete a task. In the workplace, managers who can't figure out how to
delegate may get relegated to a lesser rank.

The noun repository has a somewhat formal ring to it — why not just call a storehouse a
storehouse, right? Think of a repository as somewhat more important and imposing than
just a place to dump stuff. It has more of an air of authority, like the things stored there
could change the world. Consider nuclear waste — would you rather store it in a dump or

re+press..1st thing that cums to mind wen u hear d word press is pressing the boobs of a
gal..wen yo u press them 4 d 2nd time(re) she blocks you..hence repress is to block the
feelings or control the feelings..
Whether you're repressing a feeling, an idea or even a revolution you're almost always
going to be taking advantage of the press in repress. To repress something is to "press it
down" where it can't be seen, heard or even recognized.
Psychologists often try to help people recover memories that they've repressed so that they
can feel free of them once and for all. What makes repress different from press is that
repress is almost always used when you're talking about an idea, concept or something
intangible. In other words, you repress, say, your emotions. You don't repress olives to
get olive oil. However, you can repress someone or some group by intimidating them —
like repressing the protesters by sending out cops on horseback.

To resign is to quit or retire from a position. You can also resign yourself to something
inevitable, like death — meaning you just accept that it's going to happen.
When people resign, they're leaving something, like a job or political office.
Congressmen resign after a scandal. Coaches resign after a really terrible season. Regular
folks simply resign when they're ready to go. In those cases, resign is a nicer way of
saying quit. Being resigned is another sense of this word — it's a type of acceptance. If
your team is losing 80-20, you might as well resign yourself to losing. That just means
you aren't in denial.

Example Sentence
a successful resolution to the crisis
when prof. blame raju that he copied the solution..he gave a resolution....he said i am
determined about my solution sir.....he is firm in his response
The noun resolution has a few related meanings having to do with being firmly
determined about something. If you lack determination, you'll never fulfill your New
Year's resolutions.
Resolution is the noun form of the verb resolve, which comes from Latin resolvere, "to
loosen, undo, settle." We can still see this meaning in resolution, in the sense of "an
explanation" or "a solution"; when a problem, conflict or mystery reaches its resolution, it
has been "undone উনন্াপিত," so to speak. Another common meaning is "determination,
resolve": "Jose approached the task with resolution." A related sense is "a decision to do
something": "My resolution is to go to the gym three times a week."

Resonant ধ্বস্থন-প্রস্থিধ্বস্থনভুখয

Synonyms : resonating , resounding , reverberating , reverberative

Definition
(adj) clear and loud, or causing sounds to be clear and loud:
23 | P a g e
Example Sentence
a deep, resonant voice a resonant concert hall
Resonant describes sound that is deep and rich. It also can mean deeply evocative(making
you remember or imagine something pleasant). A resonant speech moves you by bringing
to mind all that is good in the world: family, friends, laughter.
Resonant comes from the Latin re, meaning again, and sonare, meaning to sound––or
literally to sound again or echo. So resonant's meanings all have that sense of
reverberating প্রপতধ্বপনত ওো বা করাননা or echoing. Not only does it mean echoing or
evoking meaning, but it also refers to sound that echoes through a room. Don't confuse the
spellings of resonant (the adjective) and resonate (the verb).

গুঁনে িনে িরীক্ষার েননয প্রস্তুত ওযা for exams, take an occasional walk to give yourself a
respite from the intensity.
Respite may look like it rhymes with despite, but this word has a stress on its first syllable
(RES-pit). It comes from the Latin word respectus, meaning refuge, but we almost always
use respite to describe a time, not a place, of relief. If you've been fighting with your
partner, a visit from a friend might offer a brief respite from the argument, but the fight
will pick up again when she leaves.
Example Sentence
They are demanding the restitution of ancient treasures that were removed from the
country in the 16th century.

Example Sentence

restitution....we can think of "rest". we take rest when we feel tired.i.e when energy is
lost.....so "rest" is a "compensation" for an energy loss.
Restitution is the act of making up for damages or harm. You had to make restitution for
the broken window, paying for its replacement.
The noun restitution means both "restoring something to its original state" and "returning
something to its rightful owner," like a public apology that leads to the restitution of a
person's honor and reputation. Restitution also has a specific legal meaning — an order
given by a judge to a convicted criminal to make amends ক্ষপতিূরণ for the crime. For
examples, judges often order people to pay restitution for the damage they cause.

Example Sentence

Restraint is the act of holding something back. For example, if you exercise restraint over
your emotions, you won't burst out into tears in public.
As you may have guessed from its similar spelling, the word restraint comes from the
verb restrain, which in turn comes from the Latin word restringere, meaning "draw back
tightly, confine, check." When talking about an object, a restraint is a device used to
26maintain

When you think of the word rustic, think of the rural country. This word can be given a
positive or a negative spin depending on how you use it.
The words rustic and "rural" spring from the same ancient root:*rur-, which means "open
space" in the hypothetical ancestor language Proto-Indo-European. In early usage, these
two words were used interchangeably, but now, rural is used to describe locations –-
"rural community," "rural location" — whilerustic refers to the unrefined qualities
associated with country life. The best antonym is cosmopolitan পবশ্বেনীন, which implies
the sophistication রতাবপেত ত করা, পলপক্ষত, ংস্কৃ পতম্পন্ন বা িপরলীপত কনর রতাা and
worldliness of city life.

As a noun salvage is the act of rescuing stuff from a disaster like a shipwreck or fire — or

The sanctimonious person sounds like a hypocrite (বণ্ড) when he preaches (ধশ্লভপ াশ্লে

Sanctimonious is a twist on the words sanctity and sacred, which mean holy or religious. A
sanctimonious person might think he's holy, but their attitude comes across more like
"holier-than-thou." Though sanctimonious people might try to act like saints, their actions
are far from pure or holy, which just makes them sound like hypocrites.

medicine it described someone whose ruddy complexion was a sign of an optimistic
outlook. That was back when people thought that "bodily humors" like blood were

settled down as a fancy way to say someone is cheerfully confident. Experts are frequently

41 | P a g e
(Tag: ) SCUFFLE or TUSSLE which are rhyming words refer to a confused struggle.
As both a noun and a verb, scuffle involves an all-out brawl (a noisy, rough, uncontrolled
fight). As a noun, it is the clash (ংঘশ্ললপ স্থরপ্ত ওয়া) itself, like a scuffle between sworn
enemies (Sworn enemies are people who will always hate each other), or as a verb, it refers
to the actual fighting, like a bully who will scuffle with just about anyone.
A scuffle is not an organized bout: it is a free-for-all, with fists flying in any and all
directions. As a verb, it tells about the act of this kind of wild fighting, like angry kids who
scuffle to try to settle their problems, but it can also mean "dragging one's feet while
walking." Here, the meaning is not related to fighting, but rather the sound made by those
shuffling feet.
To sear something is to quickly cook or burn its surface by applying intense heat. When
making beef stew বাশ্ল স্থদ্ধ ত্তয়া, the color and flavor are usually better if you sear the
meat first.
Sear comes from the Old English word searian which meant ―dry up‖ or ―wither পনেীব
করা.‖ Typically, the verb sear now refers to burning or scorching (অগনন ঝন রিওো)
something with heat. An unpleasant image can be seared into your memory, meaning you
can't forget it.

inside secrete. Imagine the first person who squeezed a lemon and secreted the juice.
Probably felt like he'd discovered a secret stash ুক্কাপেত িান of citrus goodness. If he was

Mnemonics for sensual

(Tag: ) SENSUAL indulging in PHYSICAL pleasures that also excite the MENTAL
status of a person.
Sensual means physically pleasing. It often is used in a sexual context, but is not
exclusively sexual in meaning.
Sensual has to do with the five senses, but it comes with a hint of lewdness (ফযস্থবচায), a
suggestion of sex. Although you could have a sensual meal or experience that doesn’t
involve romance, if you want a word that refers to the five senses without any unsavory
(অরুস্থচকয) connotations, use its cousin sensuous.

(verb) keep away from others
Synonyms : seclude , sequestrate , withdraw
Example Sentence
He sequestered himself in his study to write a book
The word sequester describes being kept away from others. If your sister tells you to stay
out of the way so she can cook dinner for her new boyfriend, you might sequester yourself
in your room.
Legal types may be familiar with the word sequester since it’s often used in relation to a
jury for an important trial. In that case, members of the jury are sequestered, meaning they
aren't allowed to watch the news or read articles that could influence their judgment.
However, sequester can describe anyone who is isolated or hidden away from others, like a
pop star sequestered in a hotel room, protected from fans' mania (উন্াি) below.

Example Sentence
our dog sheds every Spring
The small, simple building in your yard where you keep tools or gardening equipment is a
shed.
As a noun, shed means "hut," and probably comes from the word shade. But shed is also a
verb meaning "to cast off," like when a snake sheds its skin. If your couch িাঙ্ক is covered
in fur িলম, it might be because your dog is shedding. You can shed non-physical things,
like a bad habit. Does your cat shed? If so, maybe I should sleep in the shed since I'm
allergic.

(Tag: ) SHEER and CLEAR which are rhyming words refer to something that is clean
and pure.
If people can see through your shirt, it's sheer. This can also mean something steep, like a
cliff েুযাশ্লযা ফপিগাত্র, or anything extreme, like sheer nerve.
This word has several meanings, but they're all extreme. A sheer (see-through) shirt is an
extreme way to dress — climbing a sheer cliff (িুরানরা িবততগাত্র) is almost impossible. If
your car sheers, it swerves (অিমকা িথ-িপরবতত ন) sharply, and you might crash. Maybe
you've met all these meanings in a single nightmare: When the sheer cloth blew over your
face as you drove, you lost control and the car began to sheer(অিমকা িথ-িপরবতত ন), filling
you with sheer(pure) terror (প্রিণ্ড ভীপত) as you went over the sheer cliff.
Use the noun shrew — at your own risk — to refer to a woman who is argumentative,
nagging, (স্থফযস্থি) and ill tempered.
The noun shrew can also refer to a mouse-like animal with tiny eyes, a long snout (the nose
and mouth which stick out from the face of some animals), and a sharp bite. Superstitions
associated with this small mammal led people in the thirteenth century to use the
word shrew to describe a spiteful person, male or female. The word later came to be used to
51describe
| P a g e a nagging, ill-tempered woman, as in William Shakespeare's The Taming of the
Shrew. Unless you are a famous dead author, however, you may want to steer clear of this
one in conversation: it’s considered offensive.

synonyms : divinatory , mantic , sibyllic , vatic , vatical
The adjective sibylline means "having a secret meaning" or "foretelling the future," like a
fortune teller whose crystal ball reveals a sibylline message about what will happen.
If you can predict the meaning of the word sibylline, you may come from a family of
psychics — or you may have a background in Greek mythology. The word has origins in
the Greek word Sibulla, meaning "prophetess." Back in the times of the Greeks and
Romans, a sibyl was a female oracle who delivered cryptic রযিূণত prophecies ভপবযদ্রৃানী
foretelling the future, often inspired by the deities. The adjective sibylline describes such
talents or the messages they reveal.

(Tag: math) Like 'sine' in maths(trigonometry) - which was tough to understand at

(Tag: ) sinewy - SINfully HEAVY, ewy sounds like heavy.
Something muscular, with a tight and stretched toughness, is sinewy. Tennis players' lean
(চস্থফপীন) arms have a sinewy beauty, all the muscles showing as they hit their smoking
serves.
A sinew is a tendon that attaches muscles to bones, and something sinewy has a lot of sinew
or shows a lot of built-up tissues. If you're a carpenter or a piano player, you probably have
well-exercised, sinewy hands and fingers. Lines in nature, such as tree limbs and roots, can
be sinewy too. Being sinewy is attractive when it's in good health, but it can also make you
look too stretched or thin, even scrawny (পিার). Tough meat can be sinewy and
unchewable.
Skewed স্থিমপক

one person or side over another
(Verb) to cause something to be not straight or exact;

55 | P a g e
Something skewed is slanted (দরা) or off-center in some way. A picture frame or
viewpoint can be skewed.
This is a word, like so many, that can apply to physical things or ideas. A painting on the
wall is skewed if it's leaning {to (cause to) slope in one direction, or to move the top part of
the body in a particular direction} to one side. Also, opinions are often skewed: this is
another way of saying someone is biased. People often accuse news reports of being
skewed toward one political viewpoint. A movie could be skewed toward one character
more than the other. When you think of skewed, think of leaning and slanting (রাননা) of
all sorts.

Skulking is cowardly. It means hiding out, either because you're trying to pull something
off in secret, or you're trying to get out of doing something you're supposed to be doing.
If you cut school, it makes sense to do it in the style of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and

If you slow down at the end of a race, you slack off. When you use slack this way, it means
to reduce your speed, to be sluggish, or to be negligent.
If something is loose, it's also said to be slack. A clothesline, for example, is slack if it is
just hanging loosely between two trees. If you pull the clothesline tight, you reduce the
slack. The root word of slack is the Old English word slæc, which means loose or careless.
When you scold your friend for being careless about his responsibilities, you can say, "Pick
up the slack!"

When you slake something, such as a desire or a thirst, you satisfy it. A big glass of
lemonade on a hot summer day will slake your thirst.
The word slake traces back to the Old English word slacian, meaning to ―become less
eager.‖ If you slake something, like thirst, you become less eager to drink. In other words,
you are less thirsty. Like satisfy and quench, close relatives of slake in meaning, the word
is used to indicate that a craving is made less intense by getting whatever it is that you
crave.

(Tag: ) a girl slapped you for dashing her..and after the slap, your head revolves and

If you just slapped something together and then dashed (when you run somewhere very
quickly) when you were done, it was slapdash. The paint job was slapdash: it looked like
they did it in an hour, without brushes.
The meaning of the word slapdash is clear from its two parts, slap and dash. If you make
something in a slapdash way, you slap it together and then dash away — probably so no
one would notice. If you want something to look great and last for a long time, then take
your time and do it right. If you do it in a slapdash way, you may save time in the short
run. But in the long run, you'll lose much more time redoing your shoddy (নক ত্ত বানে)

Something that is sleazy is low and nasty (অিযন্ত দনাংযা). It’s a perfect word to describe
characters like the sleazy door-to-door con men (a person who deceives other people by
making them believe something false or making them give money away) who cheat old
ladies into selling them their jewelry at a deep discount.
Sleazy originally meant flimsy(যুপিীন), but nowadays it’s only used to describe morally
degraded people or places. Usually it refers to sexual behavior, but it is often associated
with people trying to swindle others as well. It’s not as bad as perverse or criminal, which
suggest that a line has been crossed. But sleazy people make you feel uncomfortable, for
sure.

A sleeper is something that succeeds when no one thought it would. That low-tech movie
about shark attacks that you shot on vacation and edited in your basement? It could be a
sleeper if you market it in the right way.
You probably know that sleeper can be used in an obvious sense to refer to someone who
is asleep. But you also may hear the word used to describe something that becomes an
unexpected success, like "a sleeper of a film" featuring unknown actors that ends up
becoming the big summer hit. This sense of the word may have originated in the world of
gambling in the nineteenth century. When a card player unexpectedly drew a winning card,
the card was called "a sleeper."

To snub is to ignore or refuse to acknowledge someone. If you want to snub your former
best friend, you can refuse to even look at her when you pass in the hallway.
When you snub someone, you deliver an insult by pretending to not even notice someone
that you know. There’s an element of disdain and rejection to a snub, as if you’re too good
to even acknowledge the person. As a noun, a snub is that act of cold rejection. Your
former friend probably noticed the snub, and she’ll probably snub you from now
on. Snub also means "very short," like the nose on a bulldog.

(verb) go or move upward
Example Sentence
The stock market soared after the cease-fire was announced
To soar means more than just to fly; it means to rise swiftly, to feel the wind slipping
below you as you ride it higher, higher, higher. Flying is just moving through the
air. Soaring, though, suggests exhilaration (উিা), even joy.
Think about the anticipation (প্রতযালা) you feel when you buy a lottery ticket — your hopes
soar as you contemplate (গভীরভানব পিন্তা করা) the possibilities. It's the same wonderful
feeling you get when someone you have a crush on notices you, when you land that perfect
job, when you hold your child. The word soar comes from the Latin, ex-, which means
"out," and aura, meaning "breeze, air," together meaning "out of the air," which is
precisely how it feels to soar.

(adj) completely lacking in playfulness
Synonyms : serious , unplayful
This adjective means the opposite of playful or drunk. When attending a funeral
(দাকজনক), you are expected to be sober in both senses.
The most common meaning of sober is "not drunk" — people who drive need to be
sober. Sober sounds a lot like somber মপন ত্ত পবণ্ণ, and it often means sad and quiet too,
or sometimes too serious. Another meaning is to be logical or realistic about something.
Sometimes sober means drab: a grey station wagon is a more sober vehicle than a hot red
convertible (িপরবতত নীে). All of these meanings are quiet and restrained — unlike a person
who has had a lot to drink.

Definition
(noun) a manner that is serious and solemn
Synonyms : graveness , gravity , soberness , somberness ,sombreness
Definition
(noun) abstaining from excess
Synonyms : temperance
Sobriety is the state of being sober, which can mean either not intoxicated উন্াস্থেি or
being solemn (ভস্থরন ত্ত স্থফলণ্ণ). If he takes a drink, an alcoholic ends a stretch (স্থফস্তৃ ি
কযা) of sobriety. You might note sobriety in the stands when your team is losing.
When thinking about sobriety, think about the Puritans(someone who believes that it is
important to work hard and control yourself, and that pleasure is wrong or unnecessary:),
and the way they kept the Sabbath রপববার. For them, even laughing on a Sunday was seen
as an excessive display. Known for sobriety, they preferred a day marked by prayer and
contemplation নুলীন. It goes without saying that they frowned upon the consumption of
any form of alcohol––favoring sobriety of both kinds.

The origin of solecism comes from the ancient Greek word meaning "speaking
incorrectly," and solecism does have another meaning that's more specifically
verbal. If you say something incorrectly, or make a grammatical error in
writing, that's also a solecism. It can be just as mortifying (িমানেনক; to
cause someone to feel extremely ashamed) as burping (to allow air from the
stomach to come out through the mouth in a noisy way) at the dinner table.

(adj) capable of meeting financial obligations
Mnemonics for solvent
(Tag: ) sounds like "solve" + "rent". If u want to solve the issues related to rent then
you must be able to pay all your debts !!!
Solvent’s meaning changes pretty drastically depending on its part of speech. As a noun,
solvent is either a certain kind of chemical or an idea that solves a problem. As an
adjective, solvent describes someone who's got cash on hand.
A solvent dissolves other chemicals, which is why it's also easy to remember: solvent is a
chemical used to dissolve other chemicals. The adjective solvent, on the other hand, comes
from a French verb that means "loosen." In these tough economic times, only those banks
that are solvent are in a position to loosen the cash flow and start lending money. No cash?
You're not solvent.
Sophomoric
a second-year undergraduate; silly and behaving like a child:
(adj.) silly and behaving like a child:
a sophomoric sense of humour. The judge called the lawyer’s presentation
sophomeric
A sophomore (স্থফশ্বস্থফেযারশ্লয়য দ্বীিীয় ফশ্ললপ য ছাত্র ফা ছাত্রী) is in their second year, either in
high school or college. Once you became a sophomore, thinking you now knew
everything, you pitied (করুণা কযা, েয়া দেখান) the freshmen for their confusion over
how to write college papers.
Sophomore comes from the word sophism which means "a bad argument that's clever but
false," and that's sometimes how sophomores in college act. They're not bright-eyed
newcomers anymore, and think they know a lot, but really they've much to learn. We also
use the word for other seconds: a band's second album is usually called their sophomore
album.

A sound is a noise, something you can hear if you're in the right spot and it's loud enough.
A doorbell, a fire alarm, a cat's meow, or your brother's snoring — they’re all sounds.
Long Island Sound is another kind of sound — it’s a branch of the Atlantic Ocean that runs
between Connecticut and Long Island, New York. When you don’t know a word, you
might sound out the syllables — say them aloud — to figure out the pronunciation. Sound
can also mean "solid or good." Sound advice is good advice. Sound investments are secure.
When you have a sound sleep, it's restful and uninterrupted (একটানা) — at least until your
alarm sounds.

Spare describes something that is extra. If you have a spare tire for your bike you can
replace a flat, and if there's enough change in your pocket you can spare some to patch a
friend's tire.
As a noun, a verb, and an adjective, the word spare has many meanings. A leftover
(বনল) part is a spare, you can spare a life when you save an animal or person, and you
have spare time when you finish a project early. If you "spare no expense" you spend lots
of money and when you spare a friend's feelings, you keep upsetting (পবিযতস্ত করা) details to
yourself. And if you have a moment to spare, you have time to share.

Mnemonics for spectral
(Tag: ) spectral - that which is real, only when seen with a special specs! - or
something spectacularly unreal - ghostly
(Tag: ) spectral== we can say spectrum which is caused by light of different colors..so
if we impose spectrum on something or someone one he or she will be likely to be
spectral.
When something is spectral, it has a ghostlike quality; it seems to vanish or disappear. You
may have heard of ghosts referred to as "specters": that means that they're spectral.
You may recognize the spect part of the adjective spectral from words like "spectacle,"
"spectrum," and "spectacular." All of these words share a similar meaning, which comes
from the Latin verb specere, "look at, view." When something is spectral, think of it as
something you can see but not touch — though it won't always mean that literally. The
young model was so skinny (পিিমতার) she had a spectral quality: she almost seemed to
disappear.
Squalid comes from the Latin word squalare, meaning to ―be covered with a rough, scaly
layer.‖ A few word evolutions later and we have squalid, a word that describes something
distasteful, dirty, unattractive, and as unkempt (এনানথনা,মাপেত ত) in appearance as the
dry, scaly skin of an armadillo, or a room filled with pizza boxes, flickering (পঝপকপমপক)
light bulbs, and stained (িাগী) wallpaper. Squalid behavior is dirty, too, like cheating on a
test and lying about it.

To be stately is to appear noble and impressive, almost in a larger than life kind of way.
You may encounter a stately gentleman or a stately statue. If you do, take a little bow
(নভস্কায).
There are a few meanings of stately, but they both refer to people and things that have an
impressive bearing. The first meaning has to do with nobility (উচ্চিিমযতািা) and class. A
ceremony honoring a prince is stately, and the music and dress surrounding such events are
stately. Stately things convey sophistication and regality (রােকীেতা). Also, stately can
mean statuesque (মপমমে). Someone with great posture (িভপি) and an impressive
physique is stately, almost as if they were made by a sculptor (ভাস্কর).

Steep means sharply angled. When hiking ভ্রভশ্লণ মাত্তয়া trails lead straight up
mountainsides, they've got a steep incline. Steep also means to soak in, as in steeping a tea
bag in boiling water.
You often hear steep used as an adjective to describe cliffs, hills, or even water park slides
that have a perilous (পবিজ্জনক) slope. Steep can apply to curves on a chart––you might say
when someone who has a lot to learn that their learning curve is going to be
steep. Steep also comes up to describe exorbitant (তযপিক) changes in costs or spending.
Everyone would love to travel more, but sometimes plan fare is too steep.

Mnemonics for stifle
When you take a rifle with you, you better stifle (conceal, hide) it, else you will be
arrested
To stifle is to cut off, hold back, or smother. You may stifle your cough if you don't want to
interrupt a lecture or you may stifle the competition if you fear losing.
The verb stifle means ―to choke (শ্বানরাি), suffocate (শ্বানরাি করা), drown.‖ It can describe
a claustrophobic (অবদ্ধতার নুভূপত - োগাননা) feeling, like getting smothered by kisses
from your great aunt. At its most extreme, stifle means to kill by cutting off respiration.
The metaphoric sense of stifle didn’t develop until well after the word was first recorded as
a verb: "I can always tell — but never let on for fear of damaging his ego — that my
boyfriend attempts to stifle tears during sappy parts of movies; his eyes well up at the
corners and he’ll sniffle uncontrollably, claiming allergies."
If something has a negative association attached to it, call this a stigma. Bed-wetting (the
habit, which is often found among young children, of urinating while sleeping) can lead to
a social stigma for a six year old, while chewing tobacco might have the same effect for a
sixty year old.
Stigma, from the Greek word of the same spelling meaning "mark, puncture," came into
English through Latin to mean a mark burned into the skin to signify disgrace.

some sort. "She served a stint in the army, followed by a stint in an office setting, before
settling on a career as a lounge (ধীযভন্থয গস্থিশ্লি চরা) singer."
Unlike a project or vocation, a stint can refer to the stretch (প্রাপরত করা) of time spent
doing a particular job. You apply for a job, but you refer to your past stint in the Peace
Corps. As a verb, stint means to be sparring তকত াতপকত করা or frugal পমতবযেী, or restrict in a
stingy কৃ িণস্বভাব manner ("to skimp"). "The school board chose to make cuts at the
administrative level, rather than stint on the children's education."

Stoop means to lean (to move the top part of the body in a particular direction) your head
Stoop comes from the same root as steep. You can stoop to clear a doorway, or stoop
metaphorically, by lower your morals. If you used to be an honest garbageman (a person
whose job it is to empty people's dustbins and take the rubbish away) but now haul
রুঁ িাোআো আো যাওো "garbage" for the mafia, you have "stooped to their level." If you
slouch (বনপমত ওো) and droop (ক্লাপন্তনত নুনে িো), you're stooping. When owls quickly

A stratum is a layer of something, whether abstract, like a social stratum composed of only
billionaires, or physical, like the different strata (that’s the plural version) of clouds that an
airplane passes through.
Stratum comes from the Latin meaning "something that has been laid down," like asphalt
পিি or a bedsheet, but we generally use it to describe layers of something. If you go into
geology, you will probably investigate different strata of the soil. If you start out in life poor
and try to become rich, you are trying to get into a different social stratum.

CRITICEZES SEVERELY. And also constricts (limits)

One meaning of stricture is a nasty criticism, while the other is a sharp contraction
ংশ্লকাচন of a tube or canal in the body. Either meaning can mean great pain to the person
experiencing the stricture.
The noun stricture finds its roots in the Late Latin word strictūra, which came from the
stem stringere, "to draw tightly." You might remember that meaning by its relationship
with the word constrict, meaning "to tighten or draw in." The additional meaning, that of
―a critical remark,‖ is often used in the plural form — like "the critical strictures against
cheating."

When something stultifies you, it drains you of your energy, enthusiasm, or pleasure. A
well-acted Shakespeare play can be a thrill. A poorly-acted one can stultify like nothing
else.
The verb stultify is sometimes used in place of "bore" or "exhaust," but only if something is
so boring or exhausting that it makes you feel as though you might just die. It's a very
negative word. If you're in a relationship that's stultifying, you should find a way out.
Relationships should make you feel more alive, not less. Constant construction noise can
have a stultifying effect, leaving a person almost unable to function.

When you're at a lecture and you feel restless পির, you've got to sublimate the desire to

Psychologists use the verb sublimate to describe the process of channeling intense energy
into something useful or appropriate. Sublimate is related to the word sublime — both
words come from the Latin word sublimare, which means "to rise up" or "to exalt উনচ্চ
িািন করা." So Freud's finally getting his own place is, arguably, a superior — a more
exalted — living situation.

Substantiate is related to the word substantial, which means "solid." So, to substantiate a
claim is to make it solid or believable. If the evidence given in support of an argument is
weak and unconvincing, that evidence can be described as insubstantial. Of course, in
special cases like the Tooth Fairy, having substantial evidence doesn’t seem to matter; fans
just keep on believing.

The noun suitor is an old fashioned word for a somewhat old fashioned kind of person: a

suitor, especially if he hopes to marry you one day. In the fourteenth century, a suitor was a

root is the Latin word sequi, "to attend or follow."

your hand is open, palm-up, it is also supine. Supine can even describe a person who gives
insufficient resistance, or who is lazy and ineffectual.

In geometry, a tangent is a line that touches a curve in one spot but doesn't intersect it
anywhere else. Tangential means something that goes off in one direction that way and
doesn't return. People can feel tangential––as though they're inessential and not relevant to

Tangible is from Latin tangere "to touch," and it simply means something that can be
touched or felt, though it can be used in metaphorical senses: "tangible assets" have a
value that can be precisely measured, and "tangible grief" can be clearly sensed by an
onlooker (িলতক). So you might not need to physically touch something for it to be tangible,

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for tarry
tarry sounds like the hindi word deri.....so a delay in doing something..
To tarry is to linger and take your time leaving. If you really like going to Sally’s Diner for
dessert, you might tarry over coffee and end up leaving after they’ve closed the kitchen.
The verb tarry is perfect for describing what happens when those relatives that you see
once a year come to your house for lunch and never seem to leave. When people tarry they
stick around and take a long time to depart, sometimes lurking (িু পিানর বিান বা িানেরা
করা) or loitering (পবম্ব করা), or sometimes enjoying each other's company. Tarry can also
mean to hang around (আতস্তঃত রঘারাঘুপর করা) a place without purpose. You might tarry in
the park until the day is fading and you have to go home.
Taut means "tight, not slack." "The tightrope ought to be taut and not dangling
(দোরায়ভান) down by the lion cage."
It sounds like the word "taught" and means stretched tight, like a rope, muscles, or even
nerves. It's nice to have a taut body with tight muscles, but not so great to have
a taut mind — tightly wound and tense. "The Olympic gymnast's taut body was
something she worked hard for, but she gave a taut reply to reporters who asked her so
many questions about her past, which she wished to keep a secret."

almost anything from clothes to people to even events or affairs.
You know that shiny black slip you picked up for nothing at a garage sale and used as the
skirt of your lion-tamer Halloween costume? It's a bit tawdry. But it would really be
tawdry if you wore it on a regular day out. Tawdry things often have a hint of desperation

say.
Temper has a number of related yet distinct meanings. In addition to describing a tendency
to anger, temper can also refer to one’s mood in general; if you use the word in this sense,
you might describe someone's temper as "angry" or "mild."Temper can also be used as a
verb meaning ―to restrain.‖

TEMP+ORAL--- relates to ORAL(speaking) IN TEMPLE--- relates to secular
Temporal comes from the Latin word temporalis which means "of time" and is usually
applied to words that mean not having much of it, such as the temp who works at an office
for a set amount of time, because temporary situations don't last long. A less common
word, temporality also means having limited time, and it rhymes with mortality! (Don't
remind us.) Temporal implies "of this earth," too — temporal boundaries keep us from
being able to fly around the clouds, but spiritual beings can zing around at
will. Temporal can also refer to temples, the ones on the side of your head that are
probably aching (িীঘতিােী রবিনা রভাগ করা) by now.

Using the similarity to "Asian" again, you can use the stereotype that Asians are good at
school... thus good at remembering/ retentive. You can even stretch it to the "stubbornly
persistent" def."
Use tenacious to mean "not easily letting go যাআনত রিত্তো or giving up," like a clingy child
who has a tenacious grip (েৃঢ়ভুস্থষ্ট) on his mother's hand.

Example Sentence

Young, easily cut beef and a sentimental heart can both be called tender.
The many meanings attributed to tender developed over time. In the early 13th century, the
word meant soft or easily injured. About a hundred years later, its meaning expanded to
include kind and loving. Skip forward another century, and tender could also imply a lack
of maturity.

(adj) unsettled in mind or opinion
Synonyms : doubtful
Example Sentence

Choose the adjective, tentative to describe something you are unsure or hesitant about. On
Monday, you can make tentative plans for the weekend but it's too early to commit to one
party or another.
Tentative, from the Latin tentātīvus "testing, trying," always describes something that is
uncertain. If you make a tentative appointment, write it down in pencil, not pen, because it
142 | P a g e
might have to be changed. Here the opposite of tentative is definite or set. If someone
gives you a tentative smile or nod, the person feels hesitant or unsure about something. In
this case, its opposite is confident.

(adj) having thin consistency
Example Sentence
a tenuous fluid
Definition
(adj) lacking substance or significance
Synonyms : flimsy , fragile , slight , thin
Example Sentence
slight evidence
a tenuous argument
a thin plot
a fragile claim to fame
If something is tenuous it's thin, either literally or metaphorically. If you try to learn a
complicated mathematical concept by cramming for 45 minutes, you will have
atenuous grasp of that concept, at best.
Tenuous comes from the Latin word tenuis, for thin, and is related to our word tender.
Something can be physically tenuous, like a spiderweb or ice on a pond. We more often
use it in a metaphorical sense, to talk about weak ideas. Tenuous arguments won't win any
debate tournaments. Synonyms for tenuous, also used physically or metaphorically,
are flimsy যুপিীন and shaky নেবনে.

(adj) (of liquid) not very warm
143 | P a g e
Synonyms : lukewarm
Example Sentence
he hates lukewarm coffee
tepid bath water
Definition
(adj) describe a reaction which is not enthusiastic:
Example Sentence
I got a tepid response to my suggestion that we should start work earlier
tepid = tea + pid; i.e. pid is having low control power which has little interest.
Tepid means lukewarm (আগ্রূনয) or half-hearted (উত্াূনয). If the applause for your
mime-on-a-unicycle performance was more tepid than enthusiastic, it might be time to find a
new hobby.
Around 1400, the word tepid evolved from the Latin tepidus, an adjective meaning
―lukewarm,‖ which before that came about from the Latin tepere, a verb meaning ―to be
warm.‖ Tepid people or things are lukewarm or lacking in enthusiasm or emotion. Bathwater
that’s been sitting in the tub for two hours is probably tepid.

A villain's worst nightmare is the superhero who always seems to thwart his efforts,
preventing him from carrying out his plans to take over the world.
Thwart is a word you'll hear in a lot of action movies, and usually it's the hero who is
trying to thwart the evil plan of some super-villain. Yet even mere mortals can be thwarted
in their efforts; the word simply means to prevent someone from carrying out his or her
plans. An aggressive driver can thwart your attempt to snag (প্রতযাপলত বািা) a parking
space at a crowded mall by pulling into the space before you. An aggressive shopper at
that same mall can thwart your efforts to buy the last Dancing Snoopy doll by grabbing it
off the shelf first.

very angry person lobbing (তিপবর) harsh words and strings of profanity িপবত্রতা,
স্পৃলযতা in your direction when you want to remember what tirade means.
Although, tirades don't necessarily have to include bad words — any long, drawn out
speech or epic মাকাবয-ম্বন্ধীে, মাকাবয declaration can be called a tirade.
Definition
(Verb) to excite intentionally but only a little, usually with sexual
images or descriptions:
Example Sentence
A juicy steak (ভাংশ্লয পাস্থর) may titillate your taste buds, or sexy images in a foreign film
may titillate your desire. Titillate means to excite someone's imagination, especially in a
sexual way.
Titillate comes from a Latin verb that means "tickle িুকনরামাুঁপিত করা," and that's what
something that titillates does to the imagination. Today's media bombard you with images
made to titillate, from video game heroines with extreme physiques to casual nudity on
prime-time TV. But it doesn't have to be sex to titillate.

Example Sentence
The church was prominently involved in the struggle

Synonyms : tip , tumble
TOPPLE and STUMBLE (হুমপে খাত্তো) have a similar sound and they both mean, to trip and
fall over.
Things can topple in several ways. If a building collapses or falls down for any reason, it
topples. If you knocked over another student, you toppled that person. Governments that
are overthrown ম্পূণত িরাস্ত করা are also said to be toppled. When you see the word topple,
someone or something is going down.

the torrid noonday sun

sultry sands of the dessert
My girlfriend thought i was lookin torrid(HOT) in my new silky shirt so she just came up
and TORE IT OFF!!!!(SOUNDS LIKE TORID)
If you’re having a torrid romance, that means it's steamy and emotionally charged. If
you’re listening to a torrid band, then you’re listening to a band that has a lot of energy.
Torrid is an adjective that describes something that's extremely hot — in both the literal
and the figurative senses. It also describes something that's very energetic, or something
that has an extreme emotional charge — which is why people often apply torrid to love
affairs. Torrid comes from the Latin word torrere, meaning ―parch তপ্ত ও তযন্ত শুল্ক or
scorch.‖ Being scorched (ঝপত) can sometimes be exciting, but when you’re parched তপ্ত
ও তযন্ত শুল্ক, you need water — and maybe a break from dating.

Example Sentence

(adj) not straightforward
Example Sentence
his tortuous reasoning
Tortuous means twisting or complicated. "James Bond drove his custom BMW 120 mph
on the road that was tortuous in its twists and turns. He had to stop the evil madman's plan
for world domination that was so tortuous even 007 could not understand it."
From Latin torquere "to twist," tortuous means something with twists and turns –– a path,
an argument, a story. It is important not to confuse it with torturous (to cause great
physical or mental pain to someone intentionally), which means characterized by great
pain.

Touchstone কস্থষ্টােয
Short Definition : stone used to test the fineness of gold
alloys; criterion পনণতােক, মানিণ্ড; standard
Definition
(noun) an established standard or principle by which
something is judged:
Synonyms : criterion , measure , standard
Example Sentence
Until relatively recently, the Japanese car industry was the touchstone of international
success
A TOUCHSTONE is a special kind of stone that measures the quality of gold. A slight rub
or touch on the stone gives you the standard of gold.
Use the noun touchstone to describe a basis for comparison. For example, a filmmaker's
touchstone might be her all-time favorite movie; she wants her movie to be that good or
similar to it in some way.
Touchstone as it is defined today comes from an actual stone. In the late 15th century, gold
and silver was rubbed, or touched against black quartz — the touchstone — to determine
the purity of the metals. This was done by looking at the color of the streaks left on the
stone. This is why a touchstone, in the figurative sense as it is used today, is a measuring
tool.

Definition
(adj) difficult to handle; requiring great tact
Synonyms : delicate , ticklish
Example Sentence

a touchy subject
Things that are touchy are hard to handle — not literally, but to talk about. Touchy subjects
make people upset.
There are a lot of touchy topics in life. Religion is a big one, since people have such
different yet strong beliefs. Racism and sexism are touchy. Politics can be touchy. Asking
someone how old they are or what they weigh are very touchy questions. Something is
touchy is you need to handle it with kid gloves — or maybe avoid the topic altogether.
People often use euphemisms (শ্রুপতকটু িনির িপরবনতত রকামতর িনির প্রনোগ) — soft, evasive
(িাতু রী দ্রৃারা এোআো যাে এমন ছনািূণত) terms — for touchy subjects, to make discussing
them easier.

Transcendent শ্লফপাত্কৃষ্ট,
Short Definition : exceeding ordinary limits; superior; surpassing; beyond
and outside the ordinary range of human experience or understanding
Definition
(adj) greater, better, more important, or going beyond or above all others:
transcendent power/beauty/love

Definition
(adj) beyond and outside the ordinary range of human experience or understanding
Example Sentence
the notion of any transcendent reality beyond thought
TRANSCENDENT or an EXCELLENT state where one surpasses or goes beyond the range
of experience, belief etc.
Transcendent describes something so excellent that it's beyond the range of human
understanding.
Transcendent shares the prefix trans, meaning "across," with many familiar words such
as transport (carry across), transcontinental (across a continent), and transparent (light
shines across). Transcendental meditation carries people across to a higher consciousness.
So something transcendent goes across boring reality into super awesomeness in a world
all its own. It moves you. Angels are transcendent, and even your favorite novel can
be transcendent.

Example Sentence

Definition
(verb) convert the genetic information in (a strand of DNA) into a strand of RNA, especially
messenger RNA
Derived from the word TRANSCRIPT which means copy made from original.
If someone asks you to transcribe something, they want you to listen to it and write down
what was said, word for word. Speeches, interviews, and trials are often transcribed for
records.
From the Latin transcribere, which means ―to copy, write over, or transfer,‖ the
verb transcribe means just that: to write out a copy. You might want to transcribe a
recording of an interview onto paper, or maybe you need to transcribe all the notes you
collected from an important meeting. If you can remember that trans means ―over‖ and
that a scribe is a writer, you shouldn’t forget this word. Fun fact: to transcribe poorly is
to transcribble.

154 | P a g e
Trans + aggression....imagine the army of Pakistan aggressively crossing the Line of Control
(LOC) and hence violating the law trans(=across) border.
When you go beyond the boundaries, either physically or morally, you transgress. A river
will transgress its banks as it floods, and students who cheat transgress school rules.
Transgress sounds like and means nearly the same thing as trespass (নপিকার প্রনবল করা).
When you transgress a rule, you're breaking it. Religions often talk about transgressing: for
Christians, breaking a commandment (ননপতক উিনিল) is transgressing against God by
violating his wishes. Any transgression is pushing through a boundary: like a neighbor
transgressing by letting their dog into your yard: that's a physical and a legal type of
transgressing. The dog got into your territory (এাকা), and the owners broke a rule.

Use the adjective transient to describe something that always changes or moves around,
like how a teenage girl can have a temporary crush on one boy one week and another boy
the next week.
Transient is most often used to modify nouns like nature, threat, source and cause, which
suggests that the word often shows up in formal contexts, such as analysis of finance or
global terrorism. But it can also be used for anything that moves quickly from one thing to
another, like a transient feeling or facial expression. Transient is also a noun meaning "a
person who moves from place to place; a homeless person." The word comes from
Latin transire, "to pass over (পতক্রম করা, উনিক্ষা করা)," so you can think of it as
describing things that are quickly passed over.

(noun) a solemn pledge of fidelity

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for troth
troth sounds like truth..that is what it means..verity or truth..
A troth is a serious promise to be faithful, such as a pledge (প্রস্থিশ্রুস্থি) people make about
getting married. If you and your girlfriend announce your troth at a family dinner, then that
means you better be serious about your relationship.
You can pronounce troth to rhyme with "cloth" or to rhyme with "oath (লিথ)." In
fact, oath is a synonym for troth. Both words are related to truth, in that when someone
makes a troth or an oath, what is said is taken as the truth. You can see troth in words like
betrothal (পববানর বাগ্দান), which means engagement, or betrothed, which refers to a
person someone is engaged to.

one with lots of fouls and thrown elbows. Truculence comes from the Latin word
for trux meaning fierce or wild.

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for truncate

cutting the top off, you make it SHORT.
trunCAT(NEAR TO CUT)+E.......and when you CUT something ,YOU SHORTEN things.
The verb truncates means to cut off or shorten. You can truncate a board that is too long
using a power saw, a chain saw, or perhaps even a karate kick.
The word truncate is from a Latin word, truncare, which means "to maim (িনচ্ছি করা) or
to cut off." Although this brings to mind a more grisly (গা-ছমছনম,অতঙ্কেনক) image
("truncate a limb in an accident"), you can actually truncate things that are not related to
anatomy. You could truncate an essay by omitting a paragraph or two, or you could even
truncate your vacation in Belize by heading home early.

as unconscionable.
The word unconscionable is related to the word conscience. Add the un-, and you can see
that it refers to something done without applying good moral judgment. The word first
appeared in the mid-16th century — presumably (ম্ভবত) everyone up until that time had
high scruples and never did or said anything beyond the boundaries of conscience. Sadly,
the antonym, conscionable, is rarely used, and, in fact, has been obsolete since the 18th
century, though unconscionable remains in frequent use.

(adj) impossible to come to understand
Unfathomable means impossible to ever understand. For most people, the field of quantum
mechanics is unfathomable.
Fathoms are seafaring (মুনদ্র ভ্রমণ) units of measure equaling about six feet. So something
that is unfathomable is also immeasurable, especially when it comes to depth.
Metaphorically, unfathomable can refer to something that resembles an abyss, some
figurative notion that's so deep you can't even measure it.

The word unfledged can be used literally to describe a baby bird that doesn’t yet have

or not yet completely developed. An actor just learning his craft could be called unfledged.
It can also be used to describe ideas that are still developing, such as an unfledged plan —
there are goals but all the steps for reaching them aren't in place.

Though you see gain in ungainly, the word does not have to do with growing, or getting
ahead. Ungainly comes from an Old Norse word meaning not convenient or, in other
words, awkward. If you want to impress your gym teacher or sports coach, first appear
ungainly and then surprise him with your great athletic ability. Applying to college can be
an ungainly process without an advisor to help.

Your reputation is unsullied, or unsoiled পনষ্কঙ্ক, because you study hard, you don’t skip

To understand the adjective unsullied, you must understand its root, sully, "to soil or

abstract in this way––your military record may be unsullied by disciplinary actions, your
report card may be unsullied by grades lower than A.

The adjective untoward describes something offensive or inappropriate, like the rumors of
untoward behavior that can shatter ধ্বং কযা a Hollywood icon's reputation.
Untoward also describes things that are not good for you, such as untoward advice from
someone your parents always said was a bad influence. Think about what you do when you
move toward something: you get closer to it. Suppose you're moving toward a goal. You
are, as they say, "on the right path." But when you add the prefix un- you reverse that, and
you're no longer on the path to that goal — you're untoward.

A vagrant is someone who is homeless and poor and may wander from place to place. In
fiction a vagrant often is a criminal, but a real-life vagrant might just be a person who has
lost a job and family and lives off the streets with help from charity.
Many synonyms for vagrant imply laziness and criminal behavior, such as "bum অনয
মে কাটাননা, পনষ্কমতা ," "tramp রটানটা কপরো রয ভ্রমণ কনর," and "vagabond উনেলযীন
ভ্রমণকারী," and some vagrants do make money through crime. Often, though, a vagrant is a
down-on-his-luck person who has lost work, family, or health and lives on the streets.

wanderer — a man or woman without a place to call home.

vain resembles pain. A person who is full of self-admiration(vain) is a pain in the ass.
vain==pain
vain basically resembles van (a car)which is very cheap bcoz it has got very low mileage
thus very few people are having this car.Thus this car is worthless or its launch was
unsuccesful(bcoz not many people buy it).
If you spend all day admiring yourself in reflective surfaces — mirrors, pools of water,
the backs of spoons — people may think you are conceited োস্থম্ভক, আত্মাস্থবভানী or vain.
If, to your horror, you have searched everywhere for a reflective surface but can't find
one, you have made a fruitless or vainsearch for a mirror. Vain is from
Latin vanus "empty," and in English it originally meant "lacking value or effect, futile বৃথা
"; we still say "a vain attempt" using that sense, and the phrase "in vain" means "without
success." Normally, though, vain means "conceited োস্থম্ভক, আত্মাস্থবভানী, too proud of
oneself." Carly Simon's line "You're sovain, you probably think this song is about you" is
an excellent illustration of this use.

You can use the adjective vehement to describe an extremely strong, powerful, or intense
emotion or force. The teenager argued for a much later curfew in a vehement speech to her
parents; her parents responded with an equally vehement ―No way!‖
Vehement is from Latin and was originally applied to intense natural phenomena: pain,
heat, wind, etc. It is now more commonly used for intense emotions or beliefs. With the
adverb form, people can be vehemently in favor of something, but the more common usage
is for people to be vehemently opposed to something. Many people, for example, are
vehemently opposed to politicians they didn't vote for, other people spoiling the endings of
movies or books, or someone else taking the last piece of chocolate. The stress is on the

The adjective venerable means "admired প্রলংপত " and "respected" — it should describe
how you feel about old folks and bosses, for example. It describes the wise old man at the
top of the mountain who tells you the meaning of life. As a noun, the Venerable refers to
someone high up in a religion, usually Christian. In fact, Saint Bede, who is sometimes
called the Father of English History, is often referred to as the Bede the Venerable.

A venture is a risky undertaking. If your latest venture is a dog food store, you hope there
are some hungry dogs around. Also, toventure is to go somewhere possibly dangerous,
like if you venture out into a snowstorm.
Venture is a shortened form of adventure. This happened sometime between 1100 AD and
1400 AD during the time that Middle English was spoken. While the two words are
similar in meaning, when you subtract the "ad," you lose a teaspoon or two of fun, and add
a heaping tablespoon of risk.
The adjective venturesome describes someone who is willing to take risks, someone brave.
If you have a venturesome child, you may worry because she's the one you find on top of
the playhouse instead of inside it.
The root word of venturesome is venture, and venture is short for aventure, which is a
form of adventure, which we understand to be an interesting or exciting experience. Some
people are more venturesome than others.

Vernacular describes everyday language, including slang, that's used by the people.
The vernacular is different from literary or official language: it's the way people really talk
with each other, like how families talk at home.
You know how some language is fancy and formal? Vernacular is different: think of it as
how friends talk when no one is listening. Vernacular language includes slang and
obscenities গাপগাাে. One of the hardest things about writing for school is getting away
from the vernacular and learning to write in more formal ways that don't come as naturally.
You can also say specific groups have a vernacular, meaning the unique way people in a

(adj) characterized by energy and vigor
Example Sentence
a virile and ever stronger free society
a new and virile leadership
Definition
(adj) characteristic of a man
Synonyms : male , manful , manlike , manly
Example Sentence
a deep male voice
manly sports
You'll often hear the word virile referring to a manly, powerful man, because the word
means having physical strength and other typical masculine ুরুশ্ললাস্থচি qualities.
When you think of a virile man, you imagine a tough, strong guy who's full of energy,
vigor, and sexual potency. He's definitely not a wimp(a person who is not strong, brave, or
confident:). Men admire him and women want to be with him. Superman is one guy who
could easily be described as virile. The Man of Steel, with his muscles rippling under the
"S" emblazoned on his costume, has superhuman strength and charm. That's why Lois
Lane can't keep her eyes — and hands — off him.

Mnemonics (Memory Aids) for virtual
Virtual and fundamental both mean - basic.
The adjective virtual is used to describe something that exists in essence(the basic or most
important idea or quality of something:) but not in actuality. You may have made a virtual
friend on an online gaming site, but don't expect that person to meet you for coffee.
Although virtual can be used to describe anything that exists in effect, but not in fact, it is
often used to describe things created in a computer or online world. "She enjoyed playing
the virtualrole-playing game with her online friends." Virtual can also be used to mean
"almost" — as in, "The blizzard তু ারঝে brought the city to a virtual standstill, with
subway and bus passengers stranded on the sidewalks."

a sulfurous denunciation
a vitriolic critique
A virulent disease is one that's infectious, spreading and making lots of people sick, while
a virulent rant গরাফাস্থজ is just a verbal attack, causing sickness of the emotional kind.
Either way, something virulent puts a strain on the people who get it.
Two meanings come out of the roots for virulent: one being "poisonous" and the other,
"spiteful অনক্রালিূণ.ত " The virus-carrying meaning of virulent often gets combined
with strain, such as in a "virulent strain of the flu." Those who aren’t carrying disease but
are still considered virulent most likely lash কলাঘাত out at others with a biting tone.
Unleashing ছাপেো রিত্তো acid-tongued words on someone would be considered a virulent
attack.

writing often include the word volition,as a way to affirm that a person involved in a
crime acted "on their own volition," or consented ম্মপত to be part of the crime. Maybe
criminals don't wish to go to jail, but their acts often show their volition to break the law.

When an attacking army lets loose a barrage of bullets all at once, it's called a volley.
A volley of bullets, arrows, or rocks describes a large number of them being shot or
thrown simultaneously. Another meaning of the noun volley involves just one
projectile(an object that is thrown or fired, esp. from a weapon): a returned tennis ball,
usually one that hasn't hit the ground before being smacked by a racket. The military
meaning of volley has been around since the 1500's, while the sports meaning didn't arise
until the late 1800's. The root word is the Latin volare, "to fly."

From the Latin vulgus, meaning "the common people," vulgar is an adjective that can
describe anything from the sexually explicit িপরষ্কারভানব বপণতত to the merely ugly and
crassংশ্লফেনীন. Many people believe that there's an important difference between things
that are sexually frank and things that are vulgar. "Erotica(books, pictures, etc. which
produce sexual desire and pleasure)" can be very beautiful and even highbrow পত পবদ্রৃান,

To waive is to give up one's right to do something. If you waive your right to help name
your family's new puppy, you can't complain if he ends up being called "Mr. Tinkerbell
Sweetheart Lovey-Face."
Waive comes from a Middle English word meaning to abandon তযতযাগ কযা ; the word
waif, which refers to a neglected or orphaned child, shares the same root. However, while
abandoning a child on a street corner is not okay, waiving one's right to do something is in
most cases perfectly acceptable. A document stating one's decision to give up one's rights
is appropriately called a waiver.

Wallow can be used to describe a physical action or an emotional state. If you cry "Woe

of its association with the much-maligned pig, wallow often has a negative, insulting tone.

Wanton describes something excessive, uncontrolled and sometimes even cruel. The

তিতনত্র তেনে কযফায প্রফৃতত্ত done with wanton অতনযতন্ত্রত disregard for the rules, but the

Wanton comes from the Old English wan- "lacking" and togen "to train, discipline," in
other words, "lacking in discipline." Wanton extravagance অতভতফযয is excessive and
uncontrolled, whereas a wanton act of terrorism is random and intentionally cruel.
Sometimes in older novels, you will see wanton used as a disapproving term to describe a
sexually active women, a usage that is considered old-fashioned today.

It's a noun! It's a verb! It's a word that warrants our attention! As a noun, it's the piece o f
paper they show you through the keyhole during an investigation. It's also a reason for
doing something, or a promise (think of the warranty on your new car, the promise that it'll
work for a certain amount of time). As a verb, it means to make something seem
reasonable or necessary, such when the ticking suitcase warrants bringing in the bomb

Describe yourself as wary if you don't quite trust someone or something and want to

You can trace wary through Old English back to Old High German giwar "aware,
attentive." If you keep a wary eye on something, you are attentive for signs that it is
becoming dangerous. Likewise, if you give someone a wary glance, your face conveys the
suspicion and caution you feel. When you are wary of driving alone at night or making
promises, you fear something bad might happen if you do these things.

To waver is to move back and forth, like when you waver, one minute thinking you'll stay
home, planning to go meet your friends the next, until you finally make your decision.
Waver comes from the Old English word wæfre, which means ―restless অতিয.‖ When the
wind blows, it makes the leaves and flowers waver, or move, in that same direction. A
person who wavers is much the same — affected by any influence or change. He or she
isn't sure what to do or may be too shy to express a preference until time is just about up
and a decision must be made.
Weary as an adjective means "very tired or worn out," like weary students who finished a
long week of studying and taking tests.
Weary comes from the Old English word werig, meaning "tired." It can also describe being
extremely bored and sick of something, like on a long drive, you might grow weary of your
father's singing voice. As a verb, weary means "to exhaust তযশ্রান্ত কযা or wear out," like
when the children you are babysitting weary you with their game of running away every
time you tell them to get ready to leave the park.

think of anything else to talk about.
In some places, people say, "Don't like the weather? Wait an hour and it'll change." Every
day, experts try to predict the weather, but they never get it exactly right. You can also use
weather to mean "endure য কযা something," as in "I weathered the storm at work."

Her bloom was fading
Wither means to shrivel কঁ কড়ড ফা কঁ েড়ক মাওযা up or shrink. If you forget to water your
plants for six weeks, they'll wither — they'll dry up and you probably won't be able to
bring them back to life.
Wither comes from the Middle English word wydderen, meaning "dry up, shrivel কঁ কড়ড ফা
কঁ েড়ক মাওযা." In addition to shrinking কঁ েন, the verb wither can also refer to losing vitality
িীফনীতক্ত and fading away, like people who wither as they age. They slowly lose their
physical stamina and grow feeble তনড়স্তি. People also start to physically shrink at a certain

age. In that way, they wither in both senses. Not only do they wither by losing their youth,
they also wither by shrinking.

A long, hard, intense argument, especially over an issue with lots of details, is a wrangle.
Politicians and lawyers frequently engage in wrangles. Usually it doesn't come to blows.
Wrangle in its current meaning comes from the nineteenth century American term
wrangling, the art of herding একত্র োতরত কযা cattle, probably with the idea in mind that
rounding up all those tiresome details is a bit like rounding up all those tiresome cattle;
they tend to go flying off in all directions. From wrangler in the cowboy sense we get
Wrangler jeans, though not all wranglers wear Wranglers of course. They usually wear
suits.

(noun) the standard unit of money used in Japan:
Example Sentence

Besides being the name of the Japanese currency, yen (a different yen) means a casual
desire. You can have a yen for sushi , and if you're in Japan, you can pay for the
sushi with the yen in your wallet.
Yen is a casual word––think of it like "hankering তীব্র রারা." If you have an easy time
remembering rhymes, think "I sometimes have a yen, to go back home again." Sometimes
yen can even work as a verb––you can yen for pancakes , or yen for truffles
, or yen for a time when you yenned for things other than food.

Yield has two meanings that seem quite different: "an amount" or "to give way." The
yield of the recipe was twelve brownies. To avoid being tripped, Mary was forced to
yield to the children on her way to the brownie plate.
While these meanings seem quite different, they both essentially mean "to give." The
recipe gives twelve brownies to those who follow it, and Mary is giving up her right to go
first. Yield can also mean the rate of return on an investment. A bond yields an interest
rate of 2%, or gives an investor $2.00 for every $100 invested.

(verb) become joined or linked together
Ever seen a picture of a farm girl carrying two buckets of water hanging from ropes
attached to a stick she's balancing across her shoulders? That stick on her shoulders is a
yoke.
Yoke also can mean the stick that connects two work animals together, or the act of
connecting two things together as with a yoke. A classic tool of farmers for centuries, the
yoke has also become a symbol of oppression — no one wants to live under the yoke of a
tyrant's rule. Do not confuse yoke with yolk, the yellow part of an egg.
