Description

1000 Words to Expand Your Vocabulary aims to ameliorate the issue of underutilized vocabulary by providing a fascinating lexicography to boost your word power. Alongside elegant and archaic words are discussions of malapropisms and solecisms, words for which meaning has changed over time, and words that have meanings often contrary to their common usage. Each entry contains outlines of word origins, examples in context, and a wealth of word-related trivia. 1000 Words to Expand Your Vocabulary will help word lovers flaunt their prolixity without flouting the rules that govern correct meaning.
