“Totum” means “everything” in Latin. “Factotum” should remind you of a person who does all kinds of jobs in factory – from sweeping the floors to piling up the papers. Remember thus!

Word: Gainsay
“Gainsay” is a tricky word to remember. Just think about some one who has made huge gains in a business. But when others ask her whether she actually made those gains, she denies flatly! Remember thus!
Word: Factitious
“Factitious” should remind you of “Fictitious”. Both words denote “imaginary” things, although there is a subtle difference between the two.
Word: Gaffe
The pronunciation of the word “Gaffe” is “Gaf’”, which should rhymes in a way (not entirely though) with the word “Cough” (pronounced as “Kawf”). Imagine yourself constantly coughing while an important event is underway. It could be pretty embarrassing, can’t it? Remember thus!
Word: Faction
“Factions” rhymes with “Fractions”. Just like a fraction is part of a number, a faction is a smaller part of a group. Remember thus!
Word: Facsimile
“Facsimile” should remind you of “fake smile”. It looks like a smile but guess what: its fake!
Word: Facilitate
By providing “facility” to someone, you help them achieve their goals in an easier manner. “Facilitate” should remind you of “facility” that makes achieving or doing something easier.
Word: Facile
A facile problem is so superficial, simple and docile like a puppy that you are not afraid to face it!
Book Review: Domechild by Shiv Ramdas
Shiv Ramdas has carved a name for him in the Indian sci-fi genre. I enjoyed reading this book because this was a refreshing detour from the mythology and fantasy books dished out by Indian authors these days. I am sure that other readers would enjoy this book too!
Word: Facetious
The word “face-tious” should remind you of the phrase “making faces”. People sometimes make faces to tease someone or make fun of something, even in a serious situation!
