synonym for
spunk
gumption
noun
[
guhmp
-sh
uh
n ]
gumption
is another word for
spunk
The noun
spunk
refers to one’s spirit or pluck and suggests a lively determination. This term has a fiery background, literally, entering English referring first to a spark and then to ignitable wood or tinder. The far less combustible noun
gumption
refers to courage and guts. It might take
gumption
, for instance, to quit a high-paying job. It’s not a stretch to say that
gumption
is more grounded than
spunk
, since
gumption
also implies a resourcefulness and even shrewd common sense in solving problems or getting things done.
Commonly found as
take + gumption
It
took
a lot of
gumption
for the intern to stand up to his boss on the matter.

synonym for
fairness
equity
noun
[
ek
-wi-tee ]
equity
is another word for
fairness
The nouns
fairness
and
equity
both deal with what is fair and just, but
equity
is more often used in discussions of complex, systemic disparities—and how to solve them.
Equity
is broadly defined as “the quality of being fair or impartial,” and it is related to the word
equal
. But be careful not to conflate
equity
and
equality
: while the concepts are certainly intertwined, the key idea that sets
equity
apart is that people's needs and circumstances are different, and therefore solutions must differ appropriately.
Commonly found as
justice and equity
The new superintendent made it her priority to address
justice and equity
in education for all children in her district.
promote equity
Some businesses have begun to
promote
racial and gender
equity
by examining and adjusting salaries.
