Commonality (noun): sharing of common contributions
“And yet, the commonalities – from the chains to the sprawl….” — Walk with me
I encounter the word commonalities when I was reading “Walk with me”. The first word I see in it is common. I thought it might be something related to having common things or could be common interest. After I search up the definition, it matches the definition that I came up with.
Nebulous (adjective): lacking definite form or limits
” – from the chains to the sprawl, the nebulous lack of center, the insistence each city offers that we must make up as we go alone.”
When I was looking at this word, I couldn’t connect it with anything, context club wasn’t helping me. Without any guessing I took the word to dictionary.com. After reading the definition, the sentence is more understandable. “Something thats nebulous is clouded or hazy like the forest you walk through in a foggy morning.”
Amenities (noun): things that make you comfortable and at ease.
“I have always live within walking distance of the basic amenities: bank, mini-mart, coffe shop, bar.”
While reading the sentence, the context club short of helped me defining the word. Bank, mini-mart, coffee shop and bar are all stores and buildings. I was thinking amenities is building or things related. The real definition of it is things that makes you comfortable, which kind of mean feelings in my opinion.
Can you separate these into three posts? At the end of the semester, I compile an alphabetical list of all the glossary entries, and I won’t be able to include these properly. Also, it makes it harder for me to grade because I only see one post when there should be three! Thank you.
