10 th <strong>Grade</strong> <strong>Vocabulary</strong> <strong>List</strong> Including Synonyms 6<br />
Students are cautioned to remember that the words adjacent to<br />
each term are synonyms not definitions. Some words have<br />
multiple meanings therefore there may be a wide range of<br />
meanings attached to synonymous terms. Many terms change<br />
meanings and pronunciation based on what part of speech is<br />
being used. For example, the word complex when used as a<br />
noun has a different meaning than when used as an adjective.<br />
The mathematical formula for rocket fuel is complex. (Here<br />
complex is a predicate adjective meaning complicated.) The<br />
teacher who constantly derides his students has a inferiority<br />
complex. (Here complex is a noun meaning a mental illness.)
