verb
[ ih-

someone or something is to go beyond it in amount, extent, or degree. A new product can

Surpass

eclipse
her rivals in free throw accuracy, meaning she has overshadowed them with her superior abilities.

tasty
savory
adjective
[

savory
is another word for
tasty
There’s nothing like a
tasty
treat! When that treat is
tasty
not because it is sweet, but because it has a rich flavor such as that associated with meat or roasted vegetables, it may be called
savory
.
Savory
means “pleasant or agreeable in taste or smell,” but has come to represent a particular taste profile in the culinary world. Of the five basic taste sensations,
savory
best aligns with
umami
, a word adopted from Japanese in the early 1960’s that describes a meaty or mushroom-like flavor featured in Asian cuisine.
Savory
can also refer to a pleasing or attractive person or thing, like a
savory
architecture book full of vivid photographs. Its antonym,
unsavory
,
gives off a malodor, describing someone or something that is not wholesome, as in, “Her job as an undercover investigator involved interacting with some
unsavory
characters.”
Commonly found as
savory dish

savory dishes
, including a mushroom soup that was divine.

wane
verb
[ weyn ]
wane
is another word for
decrease
When something
decreases
, it lessens or diminishes in size, quantity, strength, or power. Another way we can say "decrease" is with the verb
wane
. It may be most familiar from the lunar realm, as it describes how the size of the illuminated portion of the moon's surface decreases after a full moon. Beyond the moon's transition between phases (with its antonym
wax
),
wane
can apply to more intangible things like influence and attention. Energy and enthusiasm may
wane
as we approach the end of the year, and, not coincidentally,
wane
also means to draw to a close or to approach an end, as in: "the year 2020
wanes
(finally)!"
Commonly found as

synonym for
adapt
accommodate
verb
[
uh
-
kom
-
uh
-deyt ]
accommodate
is another word for
adapt
Adapt
and
accommodate
both mean to adjust or modify, or to make suitable to requirements or conditions. For instance, you might say you've
adapted
your behavior to a new country by learning the language and customs. You might also say you've
accommodated
yourself to your new country by learning the language and customs. The key difference between these verbs is that with this meaning, the direct object for
adapt
cannot be a person, while for
accommodate
, it can be a person as well as an inanimate object. Thus one cannot
adapt
other people, but one can
accommodate
them, adjusting oneself to do them a favor or meet their needs or wants in some way.
Accommodate
is also an elevated way for hotels or service providers to say they can host you or take care of you.
Commonly found as
accommodate the needs
The deluxe tour company put in writing that they would
accommodate
the needs
of their clients, regardless of the expense.
easily accommodate
Even though she was busy, she wanted visitors; so she said she could
easily accommodate
her friends and family.
