Parole
a conditional release from imprisonment
If you're in prison, after serving a few years you might be let out on parole, a promise to be good and check in regularly.
Lottery
a game in which players buy chances to win
A lottery is a contest where players buy tickets and have a random (and low) chance of winning. Finding true love and getting hit by lightning are often said to be as likely as winning the lottery.
Preoccupied
having excessive or compulsive concern with something
When you're preoccupied, you're completely focused on whatever it is that you're doing. It's good to be preoccupied when you're driving, as long as you're preoccupied with the road and not with your cell phone.
Hazy
filled or abounding with fog or mist
If it's hazy, it's definitely not clear — there's fog, mist, smoke or something like that blurring the view.
Humid
containing or characterized by a great deal of water vapor
When there is a lot of moisture in the air, it is humid out. The air in a rain forest is humid, the air in a desert is dry.
Capsule
a small container
A capsule is a very small container that closes tightly. Many medicines come in capsules that can be easily swallowed.
Squander
spend thoughtlessly; throw away
To squander means to spend extravagantly, thoughtlessly, or wastefully. If you need to save for college, don't squander your income on nightly sushi dinners.
Observant
quick to notice; showing quick and keen perception
If you're observant, you’re paying close attention to the details. If you're really observant, you would notice the little blob of mustard on your boss's jacket and brush it off for him before he goes to his business dinner.
Scald
burn with a hot liquid or steam
You could scald yourself if your bathwater is too hot. To scald something is to burn it with hot liquid. However, if a recipe tells you to “scald the milk,” it means to heat it to the moment just before it boils.
Jagged
having a sharply uneven surface or outline
Something is jagged when it has an uneven edge or quality to it. Teeth can be jagged, saw blades can be jagged, and the edges of leaves can be jagged.
Rehabilitate
help to readapt, as to a former state of health or repute
If you have been in a bad accident or have an addiction problem, you may go away for a stretch of time to rehabilitate yourself or, in other words, bring yourself back to health.
Contagious
(of disease) capable of being spread by infection
You should probably postpone dinner if your date's cold is contagious — that means it's easily spread and likely to get you sick.
Thrifty
mindful of the future in spending money
Being thrifty means being careful of your money and how you spend it. Think twice before you spend, but if you must shop, hitting the sales and using coupons are good ways to be thrifty.
Maim
injure or wound seriously and leave permanent disfiguration
To maim something is to disfigure it through force or violence. Wartime battles have a tendency to maim soldiers.
Bulky
of large size for its weight
A giant box you need to carry to the post office, clothes you wear in the snow — both of these things are bulky or large and difficult to deal with.
Unstable
subject to change; variable
To be unstable is to lack stability, meaning things could change without warning, like an unstable bookshelf that is likely to fall down. If you are unstable emotionally, you might be ecstatically happy one minute and horribly depressed and angry the next.
Frigid
extremely cold
Like the North Pole on the coldest day of winter, frigid is an adjective that means extremely chilly. It applies to both temperatures and personalities.
Placard
a sign posted in a public place
A placard is a sign, especially one that advertises something. You might get a summer job standing on the sidewalk, holding a placard that announces a mattress sale — though it may not be your dream job.
Legible
capable of being read or deciphered
Legible describes readable print or handwriting. If someone tells you that your writing looks like "chicken scratch," it might not be legible, except to other chickens.
Narcotic
a drug that produces numbness or stupor
Use the noun narcotic to talk about a pain relieving or sleep inducing drug and the adjective narcotic to describe anything that has these same effects.
