This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
confrere
Pronounced: (CON-frair)
Noun:
a person who is member of one’s class or profession
Vocabulary.com: ”Think of the noun confrere as a very French sounding way to say “colleague.” In fact, frere means “brother” in French, so a confrere is like someone who’s a part of your professional brotherhood. Except these days that brotherhood has been expanded to include all of the working women of the world.”
Example:
“Once a month, all of the agents in the city get together to catch up with their confreres.”
