To

is to have a share or part in something, divide it equally, or grant partial use of it. In the digital realm,

also implies sharing (of an event, feeling, or experience—particularly a meal), but highlights the recipient and the taking (not giving) of something.

adjective
[

reticent
is another word for
reserved
We’re going to have to pry information out of today’s word because it is
reticent
.
Reticent
means “disposed to be silent or not to speak freely.” This tight-lipped adjective is more specific than its synonym
reserved
, which is widely used of both speech and actions and implies a guardedness born of caution or a sense of formality.
Reticent
simply describes people who aren’t inclined to chatter. A word to the wise:
reticent
is used to mean “reluctant” with some regularity, but style guides urge against this broad interpretation in favor of the more precise application.
Commonly found as
shy and reticent

shy and reticent
throughout the interview, revealing next to nothing about her personal life.
usually reticent
The new teacher intrigued the

enchant
verb
[ en-
chant
, -
chahnt
]
enchant
is another word for
delight
To be
enchanted
by something is to be delighted to a high degree, almost as if you’re under a (delightful) spell! This bewitching verb is a close synonym for
delight
, but
enchant’s
magical meanings infuse it with a little more charm. In fairy tales, witches might
enchant
princes and princesses, subjecting them to magical influence. Outside of fairy tales, the magic suggested by
enchant
might be more metaphorical than supernatural, but the term retains a touch of the mystical in all its uses. An audience that is
enchanted
by a performance is not simply delighted, but perhaps mesmerized, entranced, or spellbound by what’s before them.
Commonly found as
continue to enchant
The play
Hamilton
has
continued to enchant
audiences since it premiered in 2015.

The visitors to the national park were

synonym for
decorate
bedeck
verb
[ bih-
dek
]
bedeck
is another word for
decorate
To
decorate
something is to add ornamentation to it or to embellish it in some way. To
bedeck
something is to go all out with your ornamental efforts, adorning that object (be it a tree, a room, or one’s outfit) to the point of gaudiness. (Why not? We’re all friends here!)
Bedeck
is not a very common term; the shorter verb
deck
, as in “We were all
decked
out for the party,” is more familiar. But when
bedeck
does make an appearance, it's likely for a special occasion. This glitzy verb might describe a person who is drenched in jewels, an architectural feature festooned with flowers, or a tree absolutely covered with ornaments.
Commonly found as
bedeck oneself
Hoping to outshine the artwork at the museum’s opening, she
bedecked herself
in diamonds and rubies.

The
tree
in the hotel lobby was
bedecked with
glittery ornaments and multicolored tinsel—it was impossible to miss!

clean
immaculate
adjective
[ ih-

-y
uh
-lit ]
immaculate
is another word for
clean
The adjective
immaculate
describes things that are spotlessly clean or perfectly neat. It’s the adjective to reach for when
clean
simply isn’t enough. If you go to a friend’s house and their kitchen (inexplicably) has nary a dishtowel out of place nor speck of dust in view, it might qualify as
immaculate
.
Immaculate
is one of a handful of prefixed words in English that is better known than its unadorned counterpart: have you ever heard something described as
maculate
? The odds are no, but
maculate
is a perfectly fine and real adjective meaning “spotted; stained.”
Commonly found as
immaculate home
The couple's
immaculate home
was perfectly appointed down to every last detail and looked like something out of a movie set.
absolutely immaculate
After months of sweatshirts and pajamas, she was dumbstruck when she saw her husband dressed up: his suit was

avoid
evade
verb
[ ih-
veyd
]
evade
is another word for
avoid
To
avoid
something, like a dangerous or undesirable situation, is to keep clear of it or to prevent it from happening. The verb
evade
is a bit more cunning. To
evade
something is to get around it or to get out of it, usually by a degree of trickery or cleverness. This verb is most commonly used to talk about getting out of paying taxes, getting around legal consequences, or getting out of answering a question directly. This term’s earliest uses in English had to do with escaping literal pursuit or attack; while this specific sense has waned, the notion of escaping something undesirable remains a useful differentiator.

evade taxes
.
try to evade
The company had been
trying to evade
responsibility for the oil spill by way of legal loopholes. But it was clear that the disaster was a result of their negligence.
