WORD OF THE DAY (2): UNINDICTED|| LEARN ENGLISH WORDS EVERY DAY|| ENGLISH VOCABULARY
The word, 'UNINDICTED', is an adjective. It means 'someone who is not accused officially of a crime.' Now, why is this word important? You might have noticed that some people are often considered accomplices of notorious criminals.
However, more often than not, there is no evidence to back it up. In this context, journalists often use sentences such as "He is considered an unindicted co-conspirator by many."
WORD OF THE DAY (1): MAROONED_ LEARN ENGLISH WORDS EVERY DAY_ ENGLISH VOCABULARY Hi everyone! This is RB. Today, the word that we are going to learn is 'MAROONED'. It's an adjective. It means 'to be stuck or left in a place from which one cannot escape.'
I don't know about you, but when I, first, learnt its meaning, I was reminded of all those days when I got stuck in rain and had to take shelter until it stopped.
In your case, it could be a blizzard as well. Maybe, on your way back from the supermarket, you got marooned by the blizzard. As a result, you were forced to stay in your car.
The thought itself can make one feel helpless. Right? A few years ago, one of my friends had told me that his flight was postponed because of poor weather conditions. He was marooned at the airport for almost six hours.
At times, flood victims are marooned at distant places. It becomes tremendously difficult to rescue them. Just think of their situation.
In fact, there are many incidents in the past where some of the crew of their ships were marooned on islands after their vessels were capsized by the rough seas. It's a scary situation.
Anyhow, I hope this helps you out. Tell me in the comments how you would like to use 'marooned' in a sentence.
Hi everyone! This is RB. Today, I have got
something really interesting for you all. I am going to teach you the most
effective way to learn the English words easily.
Trust me, friends! It will really help you out. But, I need your cooperation. Just make sure you go through the entire write-up.
Whenever we talk about learning new words, in
general, we refer to their meaning and usage in various contexts. But, is that
enough? Is it going to help you out in the long run? Is it really called learning?
Are you absolutely sure you are not betraying yourself?
You see... when we are young we have pictures in
our books in order that we learn to associate the word with the thing to which
it refers.
It helps them relate A-p-p-l-e to
this.
Later on, of course, they learn to associate A-p-p-l-e with this.
Making associations of this sort is extremely important
in learning new words. These associations go beyond the meaning and usage.
How
does the word affect you? What is the importance of that word in your life?
These are the questions you need to ask yourself. You can only answer these
questions with your knowledge and experience.
Say, for example, the word, ‘Happiness’. Is it
only ‘the state of being happy’? For some people, 'happiness' would be spending
time with their family and friends. You can’t contain its meaning within these five
words, ‘the state of being happy’.
And, then, there are some who would find happiness in a cup of coffee.
Let us use this idea in learning a few words.
The word, ‘Supersede’, means ‘to replace something
that is considered old-fashioned or less effective.’
How to use it in a sentence?
'There are many movie halls in India which have
closed down. They are now superseded by multiplexes.'
Then,
'The Internet is so popular that it has superseded
almost every mode of communication.'
If I stop right here, I
won’t be making further associations between the sense of the word and the
happenings across the world. Now, I want you to make associations. How would
you do that? Think of all the changes that have been made in the name of
‘modernity’. Let me help you out.
'First, they said that 3G was better than 2G. Then,
they said 4G was better than 3G. I am sure, sooner than later, 5G will
supersede 4G.'
Can you make other associations? Can you think of
other situations which can be described with the same sense that ‘supersede’
conveys in this context? Tell me about it in the comment section.
Next up,
‘Redact’. It means ‘to remove a few words or a piece of information before it
is made available to the public.’
For example, ‘The names of the victims in the
accident were redacted.’
Now, let us make associations. How would I do
that? I have seen that whenever certain kinds of crimes are committed, the names
of the miscreants are often redacted in newspapers. Maybe, it is done because a
lot of people try to find religion in everything these days. Instead of the
culprits, they would start blaming their religion. Perhaps, that is why their
names are redacted. How would you associate ‘redact’ with your experience? Tell
me in the comments.
Next, ‘Promulgate’. It means ‘to make something known
or public’. For example, ‘The political parties often promulgate fake news
justifying their acts on social media.’ Now,
how would you make associations?
If I were you, I would have thought of those messages
which are often forwarded to us by our friends. Often, these messages contain
news which does not have any authenticity. In this way, fake news is often
promulgated by us. Now, how will you make the association?
Tell me in the comments. Anyhow, I hope it helps you out.
Say, for example, the word, ‘Happiness’. Is it
only ‘the state of being happy’? For some people, 'happiness' would be spending
time with their family and friends. You can’t contain its meaning within these five
words, ‘the state of being happy’.
