In the realm of language proficiency assessments, mastering one word substitution (OWS) is pivotal, especially when preparing for exams such as the SSC, including the prestigious SSC CGL. From the foundational stages, like Class 3, students begin encountering these exercises, where a single word stands in for more complex concepts. As learners progress, they compile a growing list of one word substitutions to enhance their command over English. Examples of these one word substitutes abound, with terms like ‘cynosure’ highlighting the focal point and ‘ephemeral’ encapsulating fleeting moments. These exercises are not only integral for exams but also for broader linguistic proficiency in everyday English one word substitution scenarios. Embracing these substitutes provides an easy yet effective way to navigate the intricacies of language, ensuring a solid foundation for success in language assessments.

1646 | ARCHAIC | words used in ancient time but no longer in general use now | As Adam Freedman points out in his book on legalese, “What distinguishes legal boilerplate is its combination of archaic terminology and frenzied verbosity, as though it were written by a medieval scribe on crack.” | “He has a paper trail.

1647 | SHREDDING | cutting all the waste paper into pieces | Looking up they saw the clouds breaking and shredding; and then high in the south the moon glimmered out, riding in the flying wrack. | Except the desire shredding me up inside was so painful, it could only be a part of my heart and soul. |

1665 | FACSIMILE | an exact copy of handwriting ,printing | “I mean it’s supposed to look like a six-hundred-series instant camera, from Polaroid’s most popular line.

What happens when you turn pro? You get a Cadillac and a chauffeur?” |
1677 | COMPERE | one who introduces performing artists on the stage programmes | “And now,” said Slughorn, shifting massively in his seat with the air of a compere introducing his star act. | Singer for the Leeds goth-rock band the March Violets, she is also Rosie Lugosi, cabaret compere and performer, and has published several collections of poetry. |
1678 | PSEPHOLOGIST | one who studies the pattern of voting in elections | Here’s an observation, made after sifting through last week’s RR in the manner of an amateur psephologist: if the election campaign was dominated by men, so are songs about elections. | Knighted in 2017, he is perhaps the only psephologist in the UK who is routinely, albeit reluctantly, recognised in the street. |
1679 | KEKISTOCRACY | government by the worst citizen | Adams was fully prepared to include Jefferson as a charter member of the natural aristocracy that made and then secured the American Revolution. | The Prussian aristocracy was serving in the German army, fighting for their land and titles. |

1681 | FILICIDE | murder of one’s children | Crimes of the Future Rated R for filicide, surgeries and power-drill violence. | Stannis, of course, learned almost immediately that filicide is not a good battlefield strategy, as it turned out. |

1689 | CLUSTER | a group of islands | Perotin strikes us, even today, as an irrepressibly adventurous creative force, a firecracker of a composer who conceived and wrote down the most complex simultaneous note clusters that had ever been heard. | One day as he walked along the street, he observed a small hut that had not been there two days previous, around which was a cluster of youths, all clamoring for admittance. |
1690 | FLOTILLA | a small fleet of boats | Shells, gas clouds, and flotillas of tanks”shattering, corroding, death. | With Nixonian cunning, Calliope unwrapped and flushed away a flotilla of unused Tampax. |
1691 | HAUL | a number of fish caught (in net) caught at one time | But he did haul our water and cut wood, and he elucidated for us the many daily mysteries of Kilanga. | And then his father grabbed the back of his shirt and hauled him over the side of the truck. |

1693 | LITTER | of young pigs, dogs at birth | When I look up to check again, the numbers fade into dancing cats singing about kitty litter. | The floor was littered with skeletons in Roman armor and Imperial gold weapons encrusted with frost. |
1694 | POSSE | a group of people who are the same in some way | So, in other words, I was lucky to have a job, and keeping Sharaud and his posse another year would be pushing the envelope. | All I could say was, “Me and Ma gives our thanks to you and the posse for the trouble y’all went through to get these, Sheriff Jackson.” |
1695 | LOCK | a section of hair | Mine was attempting to pop and lock to “Boom Boom Pow” in front of them. | Thorarinsson said that Fischer, locked behind bars, reminded him of Hamlet, and then he quoted a line from Shakespeare’s play: |
