Improve your Vocabulary?

Hi All,

This is the thread I am going to start to learn a new word daily.
Every word should describe its meaning and one sentence.

So Lets Play
First word is-

Parsimonious = Sparing in expenditure; frugal to excess.

Mrs Kaushik became parsimonious nowadays, and even if there were a good deal around in US she did not like to pay one.

Awaiting next word,

hi,
i like your idea of improving vocabulary and would like to join your thread,
this is my word of the day

ALTRUIST -who is interested in welfare of others then in his own
for eg mother terissa is an altruist

regards
priya

Well,

I would like to add one more word.

Malediction
which means-


A curse or execration.


A conspiracy of infamy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest men.
