Hello everyone,
It is has been ages since I last did a post on the Kindle Vocabulary Builder, which is one of the very useful applications that a Kindle has to offer.
It allows you to store all of the words that have looked up the definition for while reading. They automatically appear there once highlighted, and you can review, study, and master the words at a later date.
Here are eight more of the words the I have added to the Vocabulary Builder – some of them are very obscure! Definitions from Oxford Dictionaries…
Word: Aperitif
Definition: An alcoholic drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
Word: Theurgy
Definition: The operation or effect of a supernatural or divine agency in human affairs.
Word: Aileron
Definition: A hinged surface in the trailing edge of an aeroplane wing, used to control the roll of an aircraft about its longitudinal axis.
Word: Halyard
Definition: A rope used for raising and lowering a sail, yard, or flag on a sailing ship.
Word: Sere
Definition: The withering of a plant.
Word: Neroli
Definition: An essential oil distilled from the flowers of the Seville orange, used in perfumery.
Word: Rote
Definition: Mechanical or habitual repetition of something to be learned.
Word: Vacillating
Definition: Wavering between different opinions or actions.
Have you come across any of these words? Are any them new to you? Do let me know in the comments!
Happy reading 🙂
