meticulous
is another word for
careful
The adjective
careful
is a general term that describes people who take pains in their work (a
careful
typist), or things done or performed with accuracy or caution (
careful
research).
Meticulous
describes people that are not just careful, but extremely attentive to the minute details of a project or task. In other words, someone who is
meticulous
sweats the small stuff! Reflecting its Latin roots,
meticulous
entered English meaning “fearful.” It came to describe people who were scrupulous to a fault. Nowadays,
meticulous
is mostly favorable, describing work that is well done or people that are reliably and impressively thorough—though it does still carry a whiff of obsessive desire to avoid error.
Commonly found as
meticulous attention
The celebrated painter was known for her
meticulous attention
to detail.
meticulous in
He was
meticulous in
his planning; he left nothing to chance on the big day.

synonym for

epitome
noun
[ ih-

-
uh
-mee ]
epitome
is another word for
embodiment
The key idea of the word
embodiment
is packed right into the middle of the term itself:
body
. This noun is used to talk about a person or thing that
embodie
s a principle or idea, or, put another way, a material (bodily) form of something immaterial (abstract). The synonym
epitome
is used of a person or thing that is typical of or possesses to a high degree the features of a whole class. This term moves us closer to the notion of an ideal or perfect example of something, and skews positive (
epitome of luxury
,
epitome of elegance
), though both terms are found with some regularity in discussion of evil (
embodiment of evil
,
epitome of evil
).
Commonly found as
epitome of cool
When she was growing up, she thought Jimi Hendrix was the
epitome of cool.
very epitome
The concrete building, with its austere lines and imposing form, was the
