“Factitious” should remind you of “Fictitious”. Both words denote “imaginary” things, although there is a subtle difference between the two.
Word: Factitious
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!
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!
Word: Gadfly
The word gadfly contains the word “fly” – the winged insect that flies through air and often annoys us. Thus, gadfly should remind you of an annoying and irritating person who keeps buzzing around!
Word: Facet
The word “facet” should remind you of “face”. At one time, we can only see one side or face or “facet” of something. Remember thus!
Word: Facade
The word “facade” should remind you of “face”. Some may show you their true face while others may hide their true face and display a fake facade.
