Extract
remove, usually with some force or effort
When you extract something, you remove it from a larger whole. You can extract a passage from a book, or a liquid essence from a vanilla bean—vanilla extract.
Toil
work hard
Toil is another word for work. You toil as a customer service rep all day, but you'd prefer to work as a rock goddess. Unfortunately, there weren't many ads in the employment section for goddesses — rock or otherwise.
Wretched
deserving or inciting pity
The fairy tale Cinderella gives us many examples of uses for the word wretched. Poor Cinderella had a wretched childhood, living in wretched conditions with a wretched stepmother. It would be enough to make anyone feel wretched, or absolutely terrible.
Perish
pass from physical life
To perish means to die. Your brother's goldfish might perish if he forgets to feed it — so be sure to remind him that Goldie needs her dinner!
Frank
characterized by directness in manner or speech
To be frank is to be honest. Also, it's a hot dog. Eating a frank at the ballpark is, to be frank, an all-American experience.
Predict
make a guess about what will happen in the future
To predict is to say what you think is going to happen in the future. If you predict that you'll win the poker championship, you're either really confident in your poker skills or you're cheating.
Prosecute
conduct legal proceedings against a defendant
To prosecute is to participate in or pursue something to completion, like a government’s intention to prosecute a war. Prosecute is most often used for bringing legal action against an accused person or group.
Revive
cause to regain consciousness
To revive something is to provide it with new energy or life, like when you revive a drooping plant by watering it, or when you revive a boring party by breaking out the karaoke machine.
Oath
a solemn promise regarding your future acts or behavior
An oath is a promise. If you want to borrow your brother's car, you may have to swear a solemn oath that you will bring it back unharmed.
Nominate
propose as a candidate for some honor
When you suggest a person for a position in the government, or propose a theme for your school's prom, you nominate that person or idea, especially if it's done in an official way.
Feeble
pathetically lacking in force or effectiveness
You know how you feel when you can’t open a jar of pickles? And then grandma walks in and does it in one shot without even grunting? That’s called feeling feeble, or lacking strength.
Prejudice
a partiality preventing objective consideration of an issue
If you have a negative attitude towards someone based on race or ethnicity rather than personal experience, you might be accused of prejudice.
Captive
a person who is confined; especially a prisoner of war
A captive is something that has been captured and can’t escape, like a prisoner of war or a panda in a zoo.
Fertile
capable of reproducing
The word fertile means "able to reproduce," but like so many words, that's just the beginning. The fact that she gave birth to eight kids was proof that she was fertile; her fertile imagination explained their unusual names.
Potential
existing in possibility
If you can describe something as possible but not yet actual, choose the adjective potential. Companies try to reach potential customers through advertising.
Prominent
conspicuous in position or importance
If you're looking for an adjective that means "sticking out above the rest; famous," consider prominent. A prominent person might be the big star, the head honcho, the top dog — not just any ordinary person.
Uneasy
causing or fraught with or showing anxiety
Uneasy describes an uncomfortable feeling. You might feel socially uneasy when dining with your girlfriend's parents if they don't like you very much. Your stomach may also feel uneasy at that same dinner and gurgle in an embarrassing way.
Tragedy
an event resulting in great loss and misfortune
Tragedy is a noun that indicates disaster or bad fortune. It would be a tragedy to lose your job, but an even greater tragedy to fall ill while unemployed and without health care.
Prior
earlier in time
Generally you should eat dinner prior to brushing your teeth. Use the adjective prior for things that exist earlier in time or that happen first in time or order.
Envy
a desire to have something that is possessed by another
Wanting what someone else has and resenting them for having it is envy. If your best friend comes to school with the silver backpack you’d had your eye on all summer, you want to be happy for her, instead you feel bitter envy.
