Words of the Day!

Happy March, everyone!!

Here's another 'WORDS OF THE DAY'!!! It's been a while! 😜 

Let's get started...
Our words for today are:

oscillate
ostensible
ostler

Hard ones, eh?

Let's see what they mean!!

oscillate (v) = to cause something to move repeatedly and regularly from one position to another and back again.

e.g. A pendulum oscillates.



ostensible (adj) = apparent; a stated reason which may not be true.

e.g. The ostensible reason for his illness was being in the cold without a jacket, but everyone knew that it was because he went swimming in the freezing lake.

ostler (n) = stableman; person looking after horses at an inn.


Have a wonderful day and a great month!
Happy March!
