[now a word ambulo combine it with somnus and we have somanbulisism
walking in sleep as in moon walking ( ambulo means walk)
so wt abt an ambulatory patient well the jack can walk here there any where and the physicain will be in tears
perambulator from pram and for any vehicle for carrying the wretched (miserable)infant
now a word perambulate is to walk through



now amble is walk aimlessly so an ambulance is a vehicle aimlessly ambling in the battlefield (a scene quite common to pakistanis sight especially after a suicide attack)
also preamble as a introduction to some thing more often used before constitution and how wizardly as constitution is a amble piece of work
jeay pak army
also preamble is event as which presciene an event
as inflation drops stock market

now somnus is one sopor is another latin word for sleep understandably as latins were sleeping through out the cource of history after the fall of rome
so a soporific i bringing sleep
a soporofic lecture one that brings sleep

now another word is banal baneful as to indicate danger and evil so easy isnt it

session 29 of word power made easy my notes and exercise
 
martinet insisits on complete and blind obedience
in
jean martinet was the IG of infantry during the reign of king loius the IV , a stricter.fanatic drillmaster one that has no precedence .
from that era the dicipline of french army was dated but this word is used in derogatory sense and show resenment and anger on the part of user

so a martinet is a slave driver he wants complete and blind obidience he demands strictest conformity to his orders ,however arbitrary or tyrinnical ,he willnot tolerate slightest deviation from his orders
now work ,who in our current political scenerio who is an epitome of a martinet
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mus-----


sycophant
the word is from greek ie sykon --- fig and phanein ---to show (also work on diaphanous ie transparent it is a see through material)
so sycophant was literaly stoolen pigeon as sycophant usually ingratiating themsevels with influential official or do anything to insinuate some one good grace the word sychophant
now a sycophant is also a derrogatory term it shows a person who todies to the rich and influential for his selfish desires he cultivate people of property and power to curry favor at the opportune time
now sycophancy and sycophantic attitudes are the hallmark of the character of top ranked bureacrate remember the famous (khattak dance of A.Y. of CBR on youtube) yes this is sycophancy



dilettante ------------------dabbles in fine arts
is from italian veb dilettare to delight . the dillettante paints writes composes or engages in scientific experiments purely for amusment not to make money to become famous or satisfy a deep creative urge
so a dilettanish attitude is unprofeesional superficial part time dabbling in the type of activity that usually consumes the whole life of a proffesional artist or an actor
now differntaite in tyro and dilettante
tyro is immature but enthusisitic tallented but dilettante is not
now anther word is vituoso who is had perfected his mastery in a liberal / fine art


virago a loud mouthed quarrelsome women

vir comes from vir man so virago far from a stereotyped female now synanomous for virago are termagant harridan are words with similar meanings to call a brawlling woman ie successfully calling a brawling women and relieving his feeling about a unyielding sharptounged women who has no gentle and stereotyped qualities associated with females

chauvinist super patriot
nicholas chauvin soldier of french empire so vociferously aired his veneration for napoleon bonaparte that he became the laughing stock of france
thereafter an exaggerated and blatant patroit is known as chauvinist
chauvenism by natural extention applies to blatant veneration of or boastfulness of any affilation of self besides one,s country.

now to be patriotic is normaly proud of and devoted to home land
but chauvinism is exaggerated and obnoxious degree of pride and devotion to ones country

patritic is built on pater patris ------meaning father see paterimony is pater and money ie juna moneta the roman goddess of finance so patrimony--------inheritence from father
adjective is patrimonial


another word is patronymic patris and onyma ie antonym-- opposite name
so patronymic is name after ones father like taimoor iqbal where iqbal is a patronymic name is it donates that father name is iqbal

now homos mean same combine with onyma and we have homonym ie word souds like same but having different spellings

now another word is homophone as phone is sound so having the exact same meaning as of homonym

paternity is fatherhood
paternal is its adjective and
paternalism is a system in which states bevaves like a father to its citizen ( any lawer reading it may want maternalism as welfare state is slogened as riyast hogo maa ke jesi if actually there s an islamic state of pakistan anywhere)


patriarch pater and arch is to rule
so patriarch is a father like ruler old venerable and caring
matriarch mother like ruler :49:

patricide is killing of a father and other words are patronize
patron patrician padre

now similarly maternity is motherhood
maternal is for motherly and matron--------an old women sufficiently matured to be a mother so found in hostels of women
so can we call some one as a matronly women eeeeeeeee imagine matronly
matron is usually a women no longer in her youth has a bit of added wt in wrong places:oooo so it is hazardous to compliment a women with matron or matronly , she may be a virago having tempestous nature:laugh:

now almamater alma is for soul ans amter we know
it is for college school any institution which in a sense is one,s intelectual mother as good soul

now what is matrimony it is marriageas marriage and children are hand in hand so marriage is for mother but wt abt money so in od days marriage is for mone and for mother:king

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 12:53 PM

parsimony parsi means ecconimical and money who doesnt wants to spend mony
sanctimony-------sanctus-----holy so a sanctimonius hypocritical form of excessive piety, considered to be an affectation merely for public show

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 01:20 PM

now w8 is matricide killing ones mother so cide is for killing
now suicide killing one self intentionally
fratricide fratis brother so killing ones brothers in a suicide attack is fratricide
sorocide soror sister killing ones sister
homocide intentially killing human being if not intentional manslaughter
regicide killing one own king as in Macbeth
uxoricide killing one wife uxor-----wife---
mariticide :angry: killing ones husband as maritus is for husband
genocide killing a whole nation i remember starts when tuks tried to genocide armenian in their occupation of balkan befor ww1

patricide killing ones father as in odepius (syndrome is also there in which a maniac siko has feeling for his mother)
now back to bussiness

who has fanatical one track mind well he could be monomaniac
monomanic has excees zeal for one object may be husband children bussiness
it is their obcession they talk sleep and eat it
they are monomaniac


who sneers at other people cherished traditions is a iconclast
it is also derogatory term Muslim on the other hand think venerating mehmud ghaznavi when they call him iconoclast well an iconoclast is voilant against revered tradition and cherished customs he stand in the way of reform and progress he is always for superstition and irrationality

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 01:49 PM

now a person who is skeptic abt god is agonist if he is not going to coform any religon we is atheist
atheism is also a relogon
now who is nilhist who doesnt believe in state

now a typical male a seelf indulger one who promiscuously attempt tosatisfy his sexual desires with any women in his arm reach is a lecher
lecher hann so a lecher is lascivous libiinous lustful lewd wanton and immoral
(remember hamudurrehamna commission report yahya and generals of east pakistan and most venerated woman of our history general rani:pp )
now a leecher practises licking from lechier old french so the synonyms (same name) starts with l with tounge [LIST=1][*]libidinous from libido\\\\\\\\\\\ pleasure[*]lascivous-------from lasciva wantonness[*]lubricious slippery lubricity[*]licentious from licere to be permitted so permission[*]also illicit not permited[*]lewd lewd vile
lustful so all these have exactly the same meaning




[/LIST]

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 02:06 PM

now a hypochondriac who always is deluded with idea of sickness he has nothing wrong with him but according to him all the maladies are affecting him
he has imaginary ilnesses hpos means under and chondros means cartilage

now frater is for brother soror is for sister maritus is for husband

so fraternize is brotherly relationship fraternity mens organizaton

sorority women organiztion hummmn APWA

now who is uxorious who excessively even absurdly caters to and submits to most outlandish and outrageous demand of wife

now uxorial befitting to wife or duties or traits

marital it was first for husband but now for both in current usage
so extramarital outside marriage premarital before marriage


now rex reg remember jurassic park T Rex well he was the king of all dinosaurs as it is lion now so regal is for royal and regalia is for his dress
regalia is now for official uniform as mus---- is deprived of his regalia

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 03:25 PM

now abt manias
dipso means thirst mania madness one who is a bizzare alcoholic ---dipsomania-----

kleptomania ======klepto means theft so klepto mania is desire to steal
now kleptomania in pshychologist view is more often women than a man and often pinch her best friends belongings well in reality or in my experirence all my friends male, were a bit kleptomaniac so i think they could not help themselves in pakistan its the other way around or even in south asia
women are more honest grmain bank experience and remember 27 december 2007

now pyromania is morbid compulsion to steal but donot confuse it with incendiarism which is the malicious and deliberate burning of other people home
colloqual firebug....... so nero was a pyromaniac or incendiary
incendiarism is from incendo or from incensus to set fire
also arson on latin is burning also ardo burning so w8 at ardous burning so ardous task
megalomaniac only one set example bush and mush
and according to khalid bin saeed Qaid e azam especially after his wife death in 1930s (k. b. s. is recommended author to become brown english man)

Frankenstein of css Thursday, July 24, 2008 04:02 PM

phobias
 
now whatr nymphomaniac and satyromaniac well nymphe in greek is bride and mania we know
similarly satyro is for satyra mythological god notorious for lechery having horns pointed ears and leg of a goat the rest of him is of human shape
so satyromania is for and nymohomania is for women to have morbid incessent disire for their counterpart


morbid dread or fear is phobia

claustrophobia id claustrum enclosed spaces and phobia excess fear so claustrophobia is a fear from enclosed space

agoraphobia is agora is for market so it is a reverse of claustrophobia a fear of open space agorophobic people prefer staying home and they panic in large public area airport terminals
recently a case happen in usa where a women wants to be accompanied by her monky to enter wallmart

acrophobia is from high altitude as akros is for height

now adolescence is the confused immature phase of developing man hood a child need a role modal to develop his superego usually imitates his father comes out of the odepius complex and with simultaneous childplay peerpressure and scholin develop conscience here if he become iconoclast more chances of him of becoming a delinquint



now diagnos agnostic and prognostic have a same root gonostos to know
so diagnosis means to know though examination or tests to make it transparent like diaphanous means seethrough
prognosis mean to know before hand so to predict usually a course of disease
and agnostic is a one that claims that all natural phenomenon including god is unknown so unknowable

now pantheism is a person that believes that god is a combination a synthesis of all forces of universe

polytheism belief in many gods

atheist simpily no god or no religon as theo means god

monotheist one god believer

now prurirent and pruritis is from prurio latin means itch to long for
prurirent describes some one with great curosity usually for sexual

pruritis is a medical condition in which there is intense itch in the skin

end of session 31
now by reading session 28 to 31 a person has learnt to insult his enemy and know most of the mania and phobia and ateast now has developed a vocubalary of 200 or more words simpily by going through the roots from session 28 to 31

convival ---people are friendly and easy to get along
from laten verb vivo from noun-- convivium-- which means a feast or banqueat from --convivium ----we have convivial a person who likes to attend feasts and banqueats enjoys the jovial good followship characteristic of such gatherings
now from vivo ---to live we have
vivacious --full of joy of livings animated peppy vivacious personality vivacity
vivid ---possesing the freshman of life strong sharp a vivid color vividness
revive -----bring back to life revival
vivisection--- operating on a live animal sect is to cut
vivisection is the process of experimenting on the animals
antivivisection is a protest against it
viviparous producing live births viviparous is contrasted to oviparous as it means producing eggs ovum is for eggs now ovum released from ovary fertilized by sperm then develops to fetus in born after gestation as an infant
now love also come from ovum but this ovum become oeuf in french and with the pronounced as loeuf so that is zero and and in tennis it is loof like 15-loof
now another latin word for life is vita its a origin of vital essential to life of crucial importance now words from vital is revitalize and devitalise and vitamin--- essential component for life

now french also use the same root as vivo and there is a phrase which is
joie de vivre means people sparkling of joy of life and jovial and never depressed or aphetic it is an opposite of ennui which is a feeling of boredom and weariness in addition to lassitude and deneral inactivity lethargy
-------youth never experience ennui--------

now another word is bon viant is a person who lives luxuriously bon viant literally means high good living bon viviant are obviously convival also likely to be gourmet which are ----connisseur of good food
so another word is gourmand enjoys food with a sensual pleasure it is different from gourmet as a gourmand might stuff itself like a pig
gourmet is always complimentry where as gourmand is less or not

now a person who eats voraciously is a glutton it is a derrogatory term
the term gluttonize is the strongest epithet we can apply to a person who has repulsive eating habit
also who has insatiable appetite for money sex punishment is also called a glutton





indefatigable are tireless
indefitatigable people have boundless ilimitable energy they are on the the go from morning to night tireless they are getting twice as much done as any three (3) others
Napoleon was reported to be a indefitagable person he slept for only 30 minutes in a day he was so much of a megalomaniac that when in saint helena he had taken thrice the dose of aresenic to kill himself but he regurgirated the whole as his body could not absorb such large quantity and he survived.
