WORD-1: Smoldering
Context:
"The Airbus got out safely before the entire plane was engulfed in flames and reduced to a smoldering wreck." - New York Times
Explanatory Paragraph:
“Smoldering” describes something that burns slowly with smoke but without visible flames, often after a fire has largely died down. It can also be used figuratively to describe suppressed emotions, like anger or passion, that are not openly expressed but can still be strongly felt.
Meaning: Burning slowly with smoke but little or no flame; showing suppressed emotion (Adjective/Verb)
Pronunciation: SMOH-luh-ring
Difficulty Level: ⭐⭐ Moderate
Etymology: From Middle English “smolderen,” meaning “to suffocate or burn without flame.” Related to the Dutch word “smoren” (to smother).
Prashant Sir's Notes:
Think of “smoldering” as hidden fire or hidden feelings. It’s not the bright, open flame but the quiet, persistent burn underneath—whether it’s fire or emotion.
Synonyms & Antonyms:
Synonyms: glowing, burning, seething, simmering, suppressed
Antonyms: extinguished, blazing, open, revealed, calm
Usage Examples:
- The smoldering ruins filled the air with thick smoke.
- She gave him a smoldering look that revealed her hidden anger.
- The campfire smoldered long after the flames had died.
- He spoke in a smoldering tone, holding back his frustration.
Cultural Reference:
"Classic film critics often describe certain actors, like James Dean, as having a 'smoldering presence' on screen—intense, quiet, and emotionally charged." - Film Commentary
Think About It:
Why do you think people use “smoldering” to describe both fire and hidden emotions? What connection do these two meanings share?
Quick Activity:
Write two sentences: one using “smoldering” in the literal sense (fire) and one in the figurative sense (emotions).
Memory Tip:
Think of “smolder” as “smoke + older.” The flames are gone, but the smoke lingers—just like feelings that burn quietly inside.
Real-World Application:
“Smoldering” is often used in news reports about fires, but in literature, film, and conversation, it vividly describes emotions that are felt deeply yet held back, making it a versatile word in both everyday and artistic contexts.
WORD-2: Distasteful
Sandarbh (Context):
"More generally, does he find it admirable or distasteful that she has long been seen as lobbying for the job and has even begun publicly issuing advice on the matter." - New York Times
Vyakhya (Explanatory Paragraph):
"Distasteful" ka matlab hai koi aisi cheez jo dislike, disgust ya moral disapproval paida kare. Ye sirf khane ke taste ke liye nahi, balki actions, behavior ya situations ke liye bhi use hota hai jo offensive ya improper lagte hain. Jaise rude comment ya unfair act ko hum distasteful bol sakte hain.
Arth (Meaning): Aisa kuch jo dislike ya moral disapproval paida kare; unpleasant (Adjective)
Uccharan (Pronunciation): dis-TAYST-ful
Kathinai Star (Difficulty Level): ⭐⭐ Madhyam
Utpatti (Etymology): "Dis-" (not) + "tasteful" se bana hai. Pehle unpleasant flavors ke liye use hota tha, baad mein morally/socially offensive cheezon ke liye bhi use hone laga.
Prashant Sir Ke Tathya (Prashant Sir's Notes):
"Distasteful" ko aap kuch aisa samajh sakte ho jo bilkul enjoy karne layak nahi hai. Ye literal (khaane ka bad taste) bhi ho sakta hai aur figurative (actions ya behavior) bhi.

Sanskritik Sandarbh (Cultural Reference):

Sochiye (Think About It):
Aapko kyun lagta hai ki ek culture mein koi cheez “distasteful” hai, jabki doosre culture mein wo acceptable hoti hai? Ye cultural values ke baare mein kya batata hai?
Chhoti Kriya (Quick Activity):
Tin aise behaviors likhiye jo aapko personally distasteful lagte hain aur tin jo admirable lagte hain. Phir sochiye aap aisa kyun feel karte ho.
Yaad Karne Ka Tarika (Memory Tip):
"Dis" (not) + "tasteful" (pleasant). Matlab jo tasty/tasteful nahi hai, wo distasteful hai—offensive ya unpleasant.
Vastavik Jeevan Me Upyog (Real-World Application):
"Distasteful" ka use workplace aur social settings mein hota hai, jahan inappropriate jokes, unfair practices ya disrespectful behavior ko describe karne ke liye bola jata hai. Ye word professional communication aur cultural awareness dono mein important hai.
WORD-3: Engulfed
Sandarbh (Context):
"The Airbus got out safely before the entire plane was engulfed in flames and reduced to a smoldering wreck." - New York Times
Vyakhya (Explanatory Paragraph):
"Engulfed" ka matlab hota hai poori tarah se surround ho jana, cover ho jana ya overwhelmed ho jana. Ye physical situation ke liye ho sakta hai jaise fire ya flood kisi cheez ko cover kar le, ya emotional state ke liye jaise fear ya sadness poori tarah se insaan ko ghair le.
Arth (Meaning): Puri tarah se surround, cover ya overwhelm kar lena (Verb)
Uccharan (Pronunciation): en-GULFT
Kathinai Star (Difficulty Level): ⭐⭐ Madhyam
Utpatti (Etymology): Middle French “engolfer” se aaya hai, jiska matlab hai “swallow up,” bana hai “en-” (in) + “golfe” (whirlpool, gulf) se.
Prashant Sir Ke Tathya (Prashant Sir's Notes):
"Engulf" ko aise visualize karo jaise koi cheez poori tarah nigal li gayi ho—chahe wo fire ho, paani ho ya emotions. Isme ek total takeover ka sense hota hai jahan escape mushkil hota hai.
Samanarthi & Vipritarthi (Synonyms & Antonyms):
Samanarthi (Synonyms): overwhelm, consume, immerse, swallow, envelop

Sanskritik Sandarbh (Cultural Reference):
Disaster movies mein aksar dikhaya jata hai ki cities tsunami, lava ya storms se “engulfed” ho jaati hain, jo dikhata hai ki nature ke saamne insaan kitna vulnerable hai. - Popular Media
Sochiye (Think About It):
Aapko kyun lagta hai log “engulfed” ko disasters aur emotional states dono ke liye use karte hain? Dono mein common kya hai?
Chhoti Kriya (Quick Activity):
Do sentences likhiye: ek jisme koi cheez literally engulfed ho (jaise fire ya water), aur ek jisme koi insaan emotionally engulfed ho (jaise fear, love ya anger).
Yaad Karne Ka Tarika (Memory Tip):
"Gulf" ko ek huge body of water samajhiye. Agar aap usme gir jao to aap poore tarah se “engulfed” ho jaoge—matlab poori tarah se swallow ho jana.
Vastavik Jeevan Me Upyog (Real-World Application):
"Engulfed" ka use journalism mein disasters (fires, floods, wars) ko describe karne ke liye hota hai. Daily conversation mein ise strong emotions ko express karne ke liye use kiya jata hai, isliye ye ek practical aur expressive word hai.
WORD-4: Prohibitive
Sandarbh (Context):
"It’s best to mentally prepare oneself for the likelihood that the guy who has long been the prohibitive front-runner will, in fact, win the nomination." - New York Times
Vyakhya (Explanatory Paragraph):
"Prohibitive" ke do common uses hote hain. Pehla, jab koi cheez itni mehngi ya restrictive ho ki log usse afford ya access na kar saken—jaise prohibitive cost. Doosra, competition mein jab koi candidate ya team itni aage ho ki rivals ke liye catch-up karna lagbhag impossible ho jaye—jaise prohibitive front-runner.
Arth (Meaning): (1) Bohot zyada mehnga ya restrictive (jo rok de); (2) Itna overwhelming lead ki competition almost impossible ho jaye (Adjective)
Uccharan (Pronunciation): pro-HIB-ih-tiv
Kathinai Star (Difficulty Level): ⭐⭐⭐ Madhyam-Se-Upar
Utpatti (Etymology): Latin “prohibere” se aaya hai jiska matlab hai “forbid/prevent.” Pehle legal sense mein use hota tha, baad mein cost, access aur competition ke liye bhi use hone laga.
Prashant Sir Ke Tathya (Prashant Sir's Notes):
"Prohibitive" ko yaad rakho as something jo rokta hai. Cost prohibitively high ho to kharidna mushkil ho jata hai. Competition mein prohibitive lead ho to rivals ke jeetne ke chances khatam ho jate hain.
Samanarthi & Vipritarthi (Synonyms & Antonyms):
Samanarthi (Synonyms): restrictive, excessive, unattainable, commanding, dominant
Vipritarthi (Antonyms): affordable, reasonable, accessible, competitive, attainable

Sanskritik Sandarbh (Cultural Reference):

Sochiye (Think About It):
Kya aapko lagta hai kisi ko “prohibitive front-runner” kehna democratic competition ko discourage karta hai, ya bas ek reality ko reflect karta hai?
Chhoti Kriya (Quick Activity):
Do sentences banao: ek jisme “prohibitive” cost ke liye use ho, aur ek jisme “prohibitive” competition ke liye.
Yaad Karne Ka Tarika (Memory Tip):
"Prohibitive" ko "prohibit" se link karo. Agar koi cheez prohibitive hai to wo aapko prohibit (rok) karti hai—chahe price ho ya competition.
Vastavik Jeevan Me Upyog (Real-World Application):
"Prohibitive" ka use business (prohibitive costs), law (prohibitive restrictions), aur politics (prohibitive front-runner) mein hota hai. Ye ek versatile word hai jo formal writing aur media analysis dono mein kaam aata hai.
WORD-5: Estranged
