Vocabulary


Weird Word

Photobucket

Increase your vocabulary with not-very-common and/or not-frequently-used words.


Today's Weird Word is: advertent, and its pronounciation is: \ad-'vr-tnt\.

Advertent is a adjective meaning: giving attention – heedful.


Marcia listened to everything we said with an advertent expression on her face, then proceeded to tell us, point by point, exactly why she disagreed with us.

  1. I've heard of inadvertent, so it makes sense that advertent is also a word. Thanks.

  4. Now that's a word I've never heard of. I couldn't even figure out how to pronounce it until I read Old Kitty's comment. Thanks for the vocab lesson. :)

  5. Again, I'm glad you all enjoy the Weird Word posts. Oh, and Susan, whenever I do a WW post, how to pronounce it is always listed in the post.
