Adventitious, advert, advocacy, aegis, aerie, affected/affectation
My adventitious meet with a foreign-returned friend made me realize how one starts putting on an affected manner and starts advocating the positives of studying outside. He adverted to the topic to the effect of making one think that the way the aerie is to the large hawk, the other country becomes to him. And all the listeners wore an aegis so as not to get brainwashed.
Affront, agglomeration, aggrandize, aggregate/aggregation, agog
That anything is an agglomeration of molecules left her agog and she started aggregating more matter on the same. This interest aggrandized her image in her teacher’s eyes and made the teacher forget the incident which was had been taken as a personal affront was forgiven.
Alacrity, alcove, alimentary, alimony, allay, allegory, alloy (v)
Her alacrity at reaching the alcove not only had an alimentary effect on her lazy attitude, but also allayed her fears. Now she didn’t care for any alimony and her thinking was not alloyed by expectation and undue hopes. Her story was an allegory of laziness, fear and positivity.
Altercation, amalgamate, amazon, ambivalence, ambrosia, ambulatory
The amazon though hurt in the war was ambulatory, in spite of her earlier enjoying food equivalent to ambrosia. But the Doctor’s ambivalence regarding whether she should walk or not resulted in an altercation between her and the Doctor. Then she decided that his knowledge was just amalgamated (unite in one body, combine) from book and not experience.
Amenable, ameliorate
The employee was amenable to the manager’s suggestions to ameliorate his career.
List 3:
Amnesty (n), amoral, amok, amulet, anachronism, analgesic, anarchy, anathema(tize), ancillary
The king’s amoral attitude made his countrymen run amok and his laws that were an anachronism felt like anathema. They approached the local Godmother who gave them an amulet which had analgesic qualities. Thankfully, they granted amnesty to the King, otherwise the country would be in anarchy. However, they decided that an ancillary body of Government is required.
Animadversion, animus, anneal, annotate, annuity, annul, anodyne, anoint, antagonism, antecede
The critics’ animadversion to the director’s movies led to animus between the director and critics. However, the way a glass becomes stronger on annealing, they annotating increased his annuity. His strong attitude served as an anodyne the way anointing an ointment would heal a wound. In this way the nasty remarks were annulled. This antagonism that anteceded his success thus proved useful.
Antecedents, antediluvian, anthropoid, anthology, anthropologist, anthropomorphic, antipathy
Seeing the large anthropoid fossil of an ape, the explorer guessed that in antediluvian creature must have been much evolved. He tried to search for more info, but alas, only to realize that he was looking at an anthology. He could not trace the antecedent of the creature and the reason for its anthropomorphic characteristics. Even though he was an anthropologist, he felt an antipathy to the subject suddenly.
Aphasia, aphorism (aphoristic), aplomb, apocalyptic, apocryphal (2), apolitical, apologist, apostate
The wife entered her new home and handled issues with aplomb. She refused to become an apostate by compromising on her religious belief in spite of apocryphal attempts for the apocryphal change thus rebelling the apocalyptic predictions of society. The in-laws remained apolitical and were neither an apologist nor alleged anything. Thus, was born the famous aphorism, ‘to each his own’. She even went out of her way to help another who suffered periods of aphasia due to acute throat infection.
