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.

presided over
the ceremony.

synonym for
enamored
smitten
adjective
[
smit
-n ]
smitten
is another word for
enamored
Love is in the air when it comes to today’s lexical couple. Or more precisely, love is right there in their definitions! The first term,
enamored
, means simply “in love.” It is the past participle of the passionate verb
enamor
, “to fill or inflame with love.”
Smitten
means “very much in love.” It comes from the verb
smite
, “to afflict or affect” and also “to strike or hit.” It makes sense, then, to think of being
smitten
as being "struck" by love or—you guessed it!—lovestruck. As for the undertones of meaning: where
enamored
emphasizes admiration and appreciation,
smitten
skews more toward infatuation.
Commonly found as
instantly smitten
It was obvious to everyone at the party who had witnessed the introduction: she was
instantly smitten
with him
.
smitten couple
The
smitten couple
enjoyed a stroll through the neighborhood holding hands.
