Disparate

Disparate: markedly distinct in quality or character. (adjective)

The definition of disparate was found in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I first stumbled onto this word on September 6, 2018, while reading “Brave We Are” by Tahira Naqvi. The word disparate can be found on page 362 and the sentence says, “Why does snow in February always remind me of February in Lahore? Incongruent, disparate, the seasons have so little in common.” When first encountering the word I thought it said desperate until I read the sentence over and then realized that made no sense. Now I know a more sophisticated word for different and that word is disparate. Learning this new word will now help me further improve my vocabulary in my writing.
