synonym for
climb
ascend
verb
[
uh
-
send
]
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.

adjective

-oo-

impetuous
is another word for
impulsive
If you look up the adjectives
impulsive
and
impetuous
in a dictionary, you might feel like you’re in a hall of mirrors:
impulsive
is defined as “impetuous” and vice versa. While the two terms are very close in meaning, there are undertones that set them apart. Both refer to persons who are hasty or rash, or actions that are not preceded by thought, but
impulsive
emphasizes spontaneity or unpredictability and a lack of reflection;
impetuous
suggests passion or eagerness as the driving force behind abrupt actions or turbulent behavior.
Commonly found as
young + impetuous
In retrospect, he wished he would have heeded the advice he had been offered all those years ago. But he was
young
and
impetuous
and needed to figure things out on his own.
impetuous nature
The reporter was known for her
impetuous nature
, which sometimes worked to her advantage in breaking a story, but often deterred sources from reaching out.

trick
ruse
noun
[ rooz ]
ruse
is another word for
trick
Trick
is a very broad term that can refer to everything from an underhanded act designed to cheat someone (a politician’s dirty

) to an optical illusion or a prank.
Ruse
has a narrower application, and is usually used in reference to a false impression or show put forth to hide true intentions or divert attention from shrewd maneuvers. The theme of misdirection or throwing someone off track in order to get away with something reflects the earliest sense of the word:

Commonly found as
elaborate ruse
His fake name and bogus work history were part of an
elaborate ruse
to gain access to privileged information.
