16 New Words !

So Akina and I are finally able to sustain the momentum of learning new words. In the past two days 16 new words have made it to the list and this is definitely music to my ears. The new words are Disport, Fractious, Froward, Ford, Pied, Petuant, Yegg, Acquisitive, Quintessence, Avocation, Ardor, Peruse, Peremptory, Morose, Exemplar and Fungible.

If you read the last post of mine you would see that I did try to use some of these words. To entertain is to disport. The easier way to remember is to remember that "We play sport to disport ourselves". Being Fractious means to be unruly, its an adjective, so one can also express their emotion by using this word for example "Sandi was feeling fractious after not finding a single computer to use in the lab". Froward could be mistaken for the misspelling of the word forward however froward is indeed a word and is a pretty old word and it means to be stubborn. Thus a froward child is a unruly child. A trivial sentence using froward could be "Nick has always been a froward child". To Ford is to wade through shallow water. For example "Our Ford broke down while fording the river !". Pied is multicolor usually blotches, the thing which comes to mind is the clothes of a jester. If someone is feeling petulant give that person some room to give off their steam, its pretty close to being fractious.
What would you call a person who breaks your safe and stole the eggs you kept there ? Well you can call that person a "Yegg". A Yegg is a safebreaker or a robber. Adams march towards becoming a yegg started as he become more and more Acquisitive. Which brings us to the new word Acquisitive which means becoming materialistic.
Something which is quintessence is a paragon, exemplar. If you have a hobby than you definitely have an avocation and if you been perusing this wonderful blog than it means you have been reading very carefully. Peruse is pronounced as perooze. Something which is done peremptorily is done with authority and one of the synonym that is listed is "Imperious" which we encountered in last post on words. While imperious is like scoffing the action peremptory is like not even letting that action take place both are bossy words and if reading this making you feel sad than probably a better word to describe it is "morose". Its similar to moron which means stupid and its no secret that if you being moron you are more likely to have morose more often. One thing that people do to change thier emotion is to go shopping but what if you don't have much green with you ? Well if you have something fungible then chances are you will get your green pretty easily. So anything that is fungible can be liquidated.
