verb
[ ih-
klips

eclipse
is another word for
surpass
To
surpass
someone or something is to go beyond it in amount, extent, or degree. A new product can

if it does more than previously thought.
Surpass
can also mean to excel or to be superior to, as in, a student who

tasty
savory
adjective
[
sey
-v
uh
-ree ]
savory
is another word for
tasty
There’s nothing like a
tasty
treat! When that treat is
tasty
not because it is sweet, but because it has a rich flavor such as that associated with meat or roasted vegetables, it may be called
savory
.
Savory
means “pleasant or agreeable in taste or smell,” but has come to represent a particular taste profile in the culinary world. Of the five basic taste sensations,
savory
best aligns with

Savory
can also refer to a pleasing or attractive person or thing, like a
savory
architecture book full of vivid photographs. Its antonym,

gives off a malodor, describing someone or something that is not wholesome, as in, “Her job as an undercover investigator involved interacting with some
unsavory
characters.”
Commonly found as
savory dish

savory dishes
, including a mushroom soup that was divine.
