GRE Verbal | Barron’s 800 Destroyed | Day 3
Target 330
Disclaimer – I have used all the references to remember the meaning of the words. There are a few very naive ways down there. So, please ignore
61. abscond – to depart secretly
One of the classic example of the word is S.C.Bose
S.C.Bose absconded from India when Britishers were after them. He was then functional from some other country
62. abstinence – the giving up of certain pleasure
Have you ever given up on Television to prepare for something?? may be IIT JEE or some semester exam?

With a lot of verbal..the Reading Comprehensions in CAT,GMAT, and GRE are verbose
64. alleviate – to relieve

Most of you would have visited the website brazzers..bus wahi se yaad kr lena..
Brazen = Bold or shameless
67. Bedizen – To dress in vulgar manner
How do you dress for bed?
I won’t say vulgar, but it’s not that decent as well plus you already know that brazen is bold and bedizen sounds a lot like brazen so it would also mean the same..
Brazen ~ Bedizen ~ bold/Shameless/Vulgar
68. Belie – To contradict
I have a beautiful story for this

Anil Kapoor belie his age
I was unable to learn the word with this trick, so I searched for Anil Kapoor belie dance on youtube and wooooo, it was there..Now I won’t forget the word

This is hard for me. Actually there is a youtube channel where an Indian couple shows their life style and all.
The modern cant
70. Circuitous – roundabouts
Circuitous ~ Circus, and what do we have in circus??
Round abouts
71. Churlish – Boorish
Churchil was a badass. He is famous for his leadership skills during World War.
I wonder if the hindi word ‘boore’ is used pan India, but boore means someone who is bad and boorish means rude
Churchil ~ Churlish ~ Boorish ~Boore ~ Rude
72. Boorish – Rude
You are boorish if you have ignored word number 71

Most of you must have heard the name of this company Cognizant. Everyone know the company Cognizant, it means that everyone is informed about CTS i.e. everyone is cognizant about CTS
74. Codify – To systematise
Codify ~ Codes i.e. a bunch of lines of instructions in a systematic manner
75. Coda – Last stanza of a music composition or a poem
This is one more beautify word. I love those words which are having very very specific meaning. One of those is coda which means the last stanza of a song or poem. One of my fav song is ‘Jaane De’ from the movie Qareeb Qareeb single staring Irfan Khan. The coda of the song is definitely the best part of the song
मालूम है जहाँ दर्द हैवही फिर भी क्यूँ जाएँ
वही कशमकश, वही उलझने
वही टीस क्यूँ लाएँ
बेहतर तो ये होता
हम मिले ही ना होते
मगर जाने दे
76. Clique – A small exclusive group
There are few groups active on the internet who deletes child porn available on the dark web. These are secret groups (may be 31 people) and can be considered as Clique.
Clique -> Click -> Dark Web Website -> A small and EXCLUSIVE group of people/hackers deleting child porn
77. Coagulate – Thicken
Easy if you are a science students
Few things coagulate. If you add lemon to milk then it will coagulate and will then change to Paneer/Cottage cheese

84. decorum – proper behaviour
Maintain decorum when you are with your client during Client visit (I.T. People can easily connect with the above statement)
85. Coquette – women who flirts
When your female CO-worker calls you cute(QUETTE), she is actually a coquette herself.
Don’t judge me with my sentences. We need to learn it.

Australian players used
87. Discredit – To dishonour; disgrace
Credit – Acknowledgment or to honour people of their efforts
Discredit – To dishonour
