GRE Verbal | Barron’s 800 Destroyed | Day 7

It’s such a beautiful day, I already learnt 30 words and I would like to continue. Let’s learn Barron’s 800 words for GRE in the most layman and simple way

Ephemeral sounds like ‘abhi maral’ i.e. he died just now 😛

166. etymology – Origin of history of a word

Have you read the book Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis?
It has a very interesting way to learn words by teaching the origin of each word.
It’s definitely an awesome book to start with

167. euphoria – feeling of extreme happiness

Remember Palash Sen? The singer? Kabhi aana tu meri gali
His band was Euphoria and it used to make me very happy 🙂

176. fusion – union

Atomic fusion, easy
Don’t know why the words am choosing are easy and frequently used !!

177. garrulous – very talkative

Though it looks like the word is something to do with anger, but remember this word has come along with loquacious as synonyms.

What is the antonym of loquacious ? Laconic

Another special word with special meaning,

Gotta by-heart like this only

179. gregarious – outgoing; sociable

Most of the extroverts are gregarious in nature

180. guileless – not cunning

182. homogeneous – uniform in composition

Zero-brainer

183. hyperbole – purposeful exaggeration for effect
