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:
sybaritic
Pronounced: (SIB-uh-rit-ick)
Adjective:
displaying luxury and furnishing gratification to the senses
Vocabulary.com: ”Sybaritic looks like a complicated word, but to pronounce it, just think of the “sib” in the word sibling, then “uh,” then the “-ritic” of the word critic. One way to remember the pronunciation is a rhyme: not even the harshest travel writer or restaurant critic ever turns down the sybaritic pleasures of Las Vegas.”
Example:
“Most luxury condos contain high-end amenities, but if you’re looking for truly sybaritic accommodations, check out the penthouses.”
