The Closing Word: Metier


The Closing Word: MetierThis 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:

metier

Pronounced: (MEH-tee-ay)

Noun:
1. an occupation for which you are especially well suited
2. an asset of special worth or utility

From Vocabulary.com: “Often used interchangeably with forte, meaning “strong point.” As the accent over the “e” in métier implies, it’s originally from the French.”

Example:
“With her naturally outgoing personality and ability to quickly earn the trust of her clients, it was easy to see why real estate was her metier.”
