VikyB Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Sometimes the SAT throws words on there that literally are ridiculous in my opinion. One of my least favorite words has to be interlocutor. Most words you can at least GUESS what it might be. "Interlocutor" makes me think something about location, but no. It means "One who takes part in a conversation or oral discussion." Thank you, English language. :bored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrmario123 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I took the SAT a year ago and I hated studying words that I probably would never use in my life. But my least favorite word is "blandish" because I always mix it up with "brandish." "Blandish" means to persuade with flattery. "Brandish" means to wave one's sword before a battle.

rodserd Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Knowing latin roots helps a lot for english. For example: interlocutor (these are from memory, so sorry if they aren't 100% accurate)inter means between the locu means speechtor typically signifies that it is a person or thing that performs the action.So we have a person who speaks between/to another personLatin roots help SOOO much with english, but they are not 100% either (because english is fun that way).
