DEFINITION : noisily turbulent : rowdy

While I was reading a essay about project 4 , I came across a word that  I didn’t know what the meaning was, so I used context clues to figure the word out. This is where I encountered the word, “New York City has been and always will be a place known for its boisterous noises and wild energy that is the lights, people and entertainment. ”  While I was using contexts clues, I figured that the word that came close to it was loud or distracting. Once I went online and search up the word,  I knew what the word meant . An example using the word boisterous, Your boisterous behavior at school will not be tolerated.

“… they joyfully rushed into the city to pursue and kill the nefarious enemies, as their comrades were already doing.” (The Crusaders’ Capture of Jerusalem)

This is a passage about the first crusades and how they captured Jerusalem. I knew nefarious meant bad, but I didn’t know it meant wicked or impious.

abominable- adjective –  worthy of or causing disgust or hatred

” What shall I say of the abominable rape of the women? To speak of it is worse than to be silent.” (Pope Urban II, Speech to the Council of Clermont)

in this speech to the Franks, Pope Urban II describes the crimes that the Islamic invaders have betrayed. abominable is an act worthy of disgust and hatred

ignominy – noun – deep personal humiliation and disgrace

“Let the holy sepulchre of the Lord our Saviour, which is possessed by unclean nations, especially incite you, and the holy places which are now treated with ignominy and irreverently polluted with their filthiness.” (Pope Urban II , Speech to the Council of Clermont)

I read this in a speech by pope urban II, in which he was inspiring the Franks to go to on the crusades. I was confused what ignominy mean. I knew it had a negative connotation because of the context, but I had no idea that it meant a more severe form of humiliation.

intrinsically – : in an intrinsic manner : by natural character : in itself 

• an intrinsically difficult language

• intrinsically evil/valuable

“With all the focus on the legal aspects of privacy and the impact on global trade there’s been little discussion of why you want privacy and why its intrinsically important to you as an individual,”..

I came across the word while reading the article “We want privacy, but cant stop sharing”. When reading the article I thought the word intrinsically meant “extremely”. Even though the one worded definition seems to make sense in the sentence that it was written in, its not the most accurate definition. With the help of the Merriam Webster dictionary, and other dictionary websites, the best definition would be ” natural , or essential”. Even after figuring out the meaning, I still find it hard to create my own sentence with the new term.
