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:
traduce
Pronounced: (trah-DOOCE)
Verb:
speak unfavorably about
From Vocabulary.com: “To traduce is to badmouth someone or something. If you don’t want people talking trash about you, then don’t traduce them either — even if they started it.”
Example:
“When people traduce you online, resist engaging them, no matter how infuriating it may be. Mudslinging on social media can cost you clients.”
