verb
[ ik-

expound
is another word for
explain
To
explain
is to make clear something that is not known or understood. A parent might
explain
to a disbelieving child why they cannot have ice cream for dinner (no nutritional value!). To
expound
is to give a methodical, detailed, scholarly explanation of something. It is a more elaborate action, with a slightly performative or presentational sense. A professor might
expound
theories, doctrines, or philosophies with lengthy verbosity. Legal experts might
expound a law
, and religious scholars might
expound Scripture
. But we also find it used humorously on occasion, in a slightly teasing or self-deprecating manner. While the use of
expound
with a preposition, as in
expound on
or
expound upon
, has some critics, pairings such as these have become increasingly common and are sure to be understood just fine.
Commonly found as
expound at length

"to breathe upon" or "to pant after." Consider the lofty aspirations of the dog who pants after the squirrel; much like Fido, when we

to something, we are working to attain it.

convivial
is another word for
fun
Something that is
fun
provides enjoyment or amusement. Something that is
convivial
is friendly and agreeable, or festive.
Convivial
is a warm and social term; it's most often used to talk about gatherings of people who are in high spirits and enjoying one another's company, often sharing in a meal or refreshments. Its gregarious nature makes sense given its origin:
convivial
comes from the Latin noun
convīvium
meaning "feast," which derives from the verb
convīvere
"to live together, to dine together." When describing a person,
convivial
means "merry company, jovial."
Convivial
is good company any time of year, but given its appetite for feasting and gathering, it's no wonder we hear
convivial
a little more around the holidays!
Commonly found as

convivial atmosphere
, laughing, chatting, and eating to their hearts' content.

ameliorate
is another word for

To

something is to make it better or bring it into a more desirable condition.
Ameliorate
shares this broad sense, but this formal verb is typically used to discuss circumstances that are more dire than what you might find with
improve
. For instance, you may hear of
improving a workflow
, or
improving sound quality
, but it is less likely that you'll hear
ameliorate
used in everyday contexts such as these. More commonly, you'll find
ameliorate
in discussion of oppressive, unjust, or difficult conditions, such as those brought by social or economic inequality or environmental degradation.

onerous
is another word for
difficult
When a task or duty is so difficult to perform that doing so feels like a burden, it may be best described as
onerous
.
Onerous
comes from the Latin word for "burden,"
onus,
which is used in English with the same meaning. A burden is something that is oppressively heavy, and indeed, when we use the word
onerous
, we evoke the idea of heaviness: an
onerous
undertaking is one so riddled or "heavy" with hardships it is difficult to bear.
Onerous
is also used to describe agreements, contracts, or guidelines that are so bogged down with legal obligations or restrictions, the intended benefits or advantages are outweighed.
Commonly found as
onerous task

onerous task

particularly onerous
