synonym for
refrain
forgo
verb
[ fawr-
goh
]
forgo
is another word for
refrain
To
refrain
from something is to abstain from an impulse to say or do that thing. The idea of (self-) restraint is reflected in the word’s origins:
refrain
comes from the Latin verb
refrēnāre
meaning “to bridle,” or to control or hold back a horse. To
forgo
something is to give it up or to do without it; a patient might
forgo
medical treatment or an executive might
forgo
a bonus. Beware that
forgo
is sometimes spelled
forego
, but
forego
has a meaning all its own: “to go before” or “to precede.” To avoid ambiguity (and to please the editors in your life),
forgo
the
e
when spelling this subdued synonym.
Commonly found as
decide to forgo
Since so few people attended the event, the organizers
decided to forgo
the usual pomp and circumstance.
forgo + altogether
After hours of searching for the perfect song to put under the interview, the producer ultimately opted to
forgo
background music
altogether
.

synonym for
indulge
luxuriate
a
[ luhg-
zh
oo
r
-ee-eyt, luhk-
sh
oo
r
- ]
luxuriate
is another word for
indulge
To
indulge
in something, such as a decadent dessert, is to yield to a desire for that thing, or to allow oneself to follow one’s will. This verb is commonly used of things one typically limits or avoids, and so it is bound up with the idea of giving oneself permission to do something or giving in to something that is usually off-limits. To
luxuriate
in something is to revel in it, or to enjoy oneself without limitation or restraint.
Luxuriate
implies a more delighted and celebratory kind of partaking. This sumptuous synonym may call to mind extravagance (what we associate with the word
luxury
), but one can
luxuriate
in pleasures big or small.
Commonly found as
luxuriate + enjoy
He was ready to hit the beach,
luxuriate
in the warmth of the sun, and
enjoy
his first vacation in years.
luxuriate + bath
After declaring Saturday "spa day," she
luxuriated
in a warm
bath
for most of the afternoon.

synonym for
manage
preside
verb
[ pri-
zahyd
]
preside
is another word for
manage
The verb
manage
is used several different ways. One can
manage
stress,
manage
to get by, or
manage
a business. The last example, in which
manage
means broadly "to be in charge of," is the closest to
preside
. To
preside
is to exercise management or control, the way a lawyer might over an estate or a president over a country during a specific event or time period. The verb's similarity to the word
president
is no coincidence: the two terms come from the same Latin verb (
praesidēre
"to preside over," literally, "to sit in front of").
Preside
is also used to talk about occupying a place of authority, as in an assembly or meeting: when you
preside
over a meeting, you are acting as the person in charge.
Commonly found as
preside over
A local judge
presided over
the ceremony.
preside + meeting
The new executive director for the company likes to
preside
over
every
meeting
except for, conspicuously, the ones on Friday afternoons.
