Ventured: An undertaking involving uncertainty as to the outcome, especially a risky or dangerous one(noun)
While reading “A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell, I came across the word ventured, which seemed unfamiliar to me so I chose it for this week. Before looking further into what ventured meant, I used context clues to guess the definition, the author states “The country’s not very pleasant this time of year,” Mrs. Peters at last ventured, as if she felt they ought to be talking as well as the men”, I than concluded that ventured meant something that was unpleasant, but when I looked it up, it meant more than unpleasant, it also meant involving a risky or dangerous outcome. I now know how to use this word in future context.
