“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: Gainsay
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!
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: Abrogate
“Abrogate” rhymes with “Blockade”. So, a blockade is set up to stop a “gate” from being used. The entry-gate has been abolished. How about remembering like that?
Word: Insipid
Suppose you go to a party. Now in that party, you are not allowed to “sip”any drink. No drinks allowed. No soda, no beer. Sorry. Just imagine how dull and lifeless that party would be! The “sip” in “Insipid” should remind you of such a party.
