Cool Words
6:20 PM
Here's the running list of all the cool words of the week. Have fun!
tempestuous (tem-PEST-you-us):
Like a tempest. A tempest is a really big storm. So, if something is tempestuous that means it's acting or behaving kind of like a really big storm. A tempestuous kid is a kid who's really wild and out of control.
1st grade was a tempestuous year for me. I got in lots of trouble.
Presidential (prez-i-DEN-shul):
Anything having to do with the president. And not just the president of the United States. It can be the president of anything! You school, your organization, or your universe.
"My presidential powers allow me to make my own rules."
"This presidential feast has foods that all of our past presidents loved."
enamored (e-NA-murr-d):
Being in love with something. You may not think this is such a cool word now, but give it a few years.
tip: Usually you will use the words "of" or "with" after enamored. Like this -
Jack was enamored of the girl in his math class. (That means he was in love with her)
Dan was enamored with his new bicycle. (That means he totally loved it!)
corpulent (COR-pew-lent):
This word comes from the word "corpus" which means "body". Corpulent means "lots of body", in other words it means "fat". Have fun with this one, just be careful who you use it against. ;)
verdant (VER-dunt):
verdant (VER-dunt):
This means green. People usually use this word when they're talking about a landscape.
The verdant forests of my hometown are perfect for exploring.
