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