GRE vocab

May 31, 2006 14:04

To get into grad school I have to take the GRE and do at least average on it. Math and reading is no problem, but some of you might know that I am not the most eloquent person. In my opinion, I have a very "lacking" vocabulary. So, I am studying vocab words that have commonly showed up on the GRE. It's kind of excited knowing that I might pick up hopefully a few words to impress people. Maybe one day I will be able to talk and no one will know what I am talking about. Ooo...

So, because I am suffering through this so must you. Here are a few of my favorite words for the day:

abscond: to steal off and hide

For instance, a raccoon will abscond after acquiring shining objects.

acerbic: having a bitter or sour taster or character

Matt was acerbic in the way she pointed out to me that I am still not 21 years old.

adroit: adept

Because Dave had 5 hands, he was an adroit wrestler when up against Megan.
