5. ~Vocabulary for Week 2 Term 4~

   Explicit – Pronounced Ik~Splis~It-
   Explicit, an adjective of high value (19 in Scrabble, 22 in Words With Friends), has a large six meanings. Here are two of them: fully and clearly expressed or demonstrated; also unequivocal. The other is a mathematical term, meaning having the dependent variable expressed directly in terms of the independent variables, as y = 3 x + 4.
   Some antonyms for explicit are indefinite and ambiguous (which happens to be a favourite word of mine, it’s nice sounding).
   Explicit originated, as many words that I have researched did, from Latin, 1605-1615, the word explicitus. Explicitus meant unfolded and set forth. The Latin word came from explicāre.
   “The man’s political speech was originally sober, but wild events caused it to become explicit.” (A very own sentence by yours truly).

   Quality – Pronounced Kwol~I~Tee-
   “You are all Young Ladies of Qualitay!” – a quote from a book series I am rather indulged in, spoken by Mademoiselle Geraldine. This noun and adjective has a WHOPPING NINETEEN MEANINGS, probably the biggest meaning count of any of the vocabulary words of the week this year. Fifteen of these meanings apply when the word is used as a noun, and the other four are adjectives. Native excellence or superiority is one of the nouns, another is a personality or character trait. One of the adjectives is of or having superior quality.
   For the type of quality we usually use, get this, there’s NO antonyms whatsoever!
   Quālitās originated in Latin. Quālitās in turn went into Old French, where the word is unknown to us now, and then the Old French word came into Middle English, as Qualite from 1250-1300.
   “Young ladies of quality should NOT sneak around the airship after hours!” (Also, “This work is quality.” It’s true!)

   I am running out of time again and I shall continue this later.

7. ~Vocabulary of Week 2 Term 4 Part 2~

   Excel – Pronounced Ik~Sel-
   Excel is a verb that has two meanings, one used without object and one with. When it is used without an object it is used as “to surpass others or be superior in some respect or area; do extremely well”. When it is used with an object it is this: “to surpass; be superior to; outdo”.
   Excel has a few antonyms, such as “fail”, “lose”, “fall behind” or “be inferior”.
   Excel came from the mid 1400’s (1400-1450), the late Middle English word excellen. Excellen came from the Latin word excellere, equivalent to ex- + cellere.

   I have run out of time and will again complete this later in my own time or in tomorrow’s English One time.
