The noun
arrogance
is a commonly used term for overbearing pride or an offensive display of superiority or self-importance. The synonym
hubris

synonym for

erroneous
adjective
[ ih-

- ]
erroneous
is another word for
wrong
The adjective
wrong
is used in a few different ways. It can describe something that is not in accordance with what is morally right or good (a
wrong
deed), something that is out of order or awry (something’s
wrong
with your computer), or something that deviates from the truth or fact (a
wrong
answer). That third sense is where the synonym
erroneous
comes in.
Erroneous
means “containing error” or “mistaken; incorrect.” This adjective is commonly used to describe flawed reasoning or incorrect information.
Erroneous
originally described people or things that moved aimlessly or wandered about. While that sense is now obsolete, the idea of deviating or straying from a correct path, albeit a figurative one, still figures into its meaning.
Commonly found as
erroneous assumption
The director's decision to move the first performance up a weekend was based on the
erroneous assumption
that his cast members had been rehearsing diligently.
clearly erroneous
She could not believe the outcome of the trial; in her view the court's findings were

synonym for
display
flaunt
verb
[ flawnt ]
flaunt
is another word for
display
The verb
display
is one that usually flies under the radar; it means simply “to show” or “to make visible.” A shopkeeper might
display
a sign in their window. The verb
flaunt
is much more of a show-off!
Flaunt
is defined as “to parade or display ostentatiously.” A person who
flaunts
their wealth actively draws attention to it. The boastfulness baked into this term explains why
flaunt
is often couched in disapproving contexts. But sometimes the word is used more affirmingly to reject a stigma associated with an idea, circumstance, or behavior.
Commonly found as
flaunt + wealth
The local paper criticized the celebrity for shamelessly
flaunting
his
wealth
when he came to tour neighborhoods that had been destroyed just a week earlier by the hurricane.
proudly flaunt
He
proudly flaunted
his VIP badge at the prestigious event.
