Three Words for Building Your Vocabulary part 5.

We are getting on through the alphabet here. Three more words to expand your vocab: here they are...use them! I dare you...

1. Matriculate. 200 (to enroll as a member of a group) This could come in really handy in our current status. This word applies especially to a school or college. How about the use even in the case of a greek organization? Try this as a verb in describing someone joining your group in the fall.

2. Nestor. (a leader in one's field) This is also quite pertinent to our season of life. As students, we are surrounded by leaders. Try this word in reference to one of your professors or the dean of your college. This could even apply to someone in your major who is especially gifted in leadership in your field of study.

3. Ostensible. 279 (shown in an outward way) A synonym for this word is apparent. Not as relevant as the first two words, but still useful. Usable in describing someone's work if it is outstanding. Perhaps this word could also describe the actions of one student or authority towards another.
