adjective

forthright
is another word for
honest
When we describe someone as
honest
, we usually mean they have no intent to deceive and can be trusted. When we call someone
forthright
, we usually mean they are direct and candid in their communication. The adjective
forthright
is defined as “going straight to the point” or “frank.” Someone who is
forthright
does not beat around the bush or withhold information; they get to the heart of matters without hesitation.
Forthright
is similar to the adjective
forthcoming
, which is defined as “frank and cooperative,” but which implies slightly more agreeability or the divulgence of a larger amount of information. The common link, the directional adverb
forth
, means “onward” or “forward.”
Commonly found as
forthright manner
The publicist advised the CEO to address the controversy in a very
forthright manner,
urging her to address any pertinent and potentially damaging information head on.
refreshingly forthright
The celebrity was
refreshingly forthright
about the mistakes he'd made in the past.

synonym for
climb

verb
[

ascend
is another word for
climb
The verbs
climb
and
ascend
both imply moving upward.
Climb
is more likely to be used of a person using their feet to move up (
climb
stairs), or their hands and feet
(climb
up a ladder). This verb suggests effort, even when used figuratively to talk about gaining prominence or fortune (to
climb
to the highest office in the land). The verb
ascend
usually suggests a gradual or stately movement, with or without effort. This lofty verb really stands apart in discussion of rising to a higher point, rank, or degree, or proceeding from an inferior to a superior degree or level, as in the case of a person who
ascends
to power.
Commonly found as
ascend + throne
The emperor
ascended
the
throne
when he was very young, but earned the people's respect quickly with his benevolence.
ascend + descend
He had watched her
ascend
to great heights early in her career, and then
descend
to new depths when the industry collapsed.
