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.

| 1803 | PHILOZOIC | a lover of animals | Most of them were young people fed up with the good life, wanderers like him in search of a philosophy that would allow them to exist without participating in earthly strife. | There are two characteristic forms that natural philosophy takes in the Middle Ages: one is the commentary on Aristotle; the other is the collection of quaestiones, of problems to which there is no agreed solution. |
| 1804 | PHILOMATH | a lover of learning | I think I can offer you, in this parliament of philomaths, entertainment of the most genuine sort; and having said so much, I might well retire and be heard no more. | He kept a classical and mathematical school which was well supported, and called himself a philomath, whatever that meant. |

| 1812 | EMETIC | a medicine which induces vomit | “Doc said he didn’t see how I’d made it without bleeding and a good emetic. Says I’m still weak because I didn’t get all the poisons out of my body.” | Fortunately, it proved emetic; and her stomach having rejected all that she had swallowed, she was restored to health, though her recovery was for some time doubtful. |
| 1813 | HARPOON | a spear on a rope for catching whales and other larger fish | Makes me wonder how I’ll ever get a harpoon into a thing that moves so fast. | One summer my dad harpooned eighteen tuna, twice as many as the next best man in Spinney Cove. |
| 1814 | GOOSE | a female of gander | Most nights Frederick murmurs to himself before falling asleep: bits of poems, the habits of geese, bats he’s heard swooping past the windows. | Maybe she could learn to act motherly as well.”You do want him to survive, don’t you?” said the goose. |
| 1815 | HART | an adult male of deer | But my father were that good in his hart that he couldn’t abear to be without us. | He moves up a thickly wooded hill, and at the crest of it, standing as if waiting for him, he finds the hart. |
| 1816 | PARONYM | words alike in sound but different in meaning and spelling | I guess money sounds too much like … money. paradigm. | The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole is a paradigm, a human institution possessed of a life of its own, self-regenerating, touched all around by human meddle but constantly improved, embellished by it. |
| 1817 | HOUND | a dog used for hunting | Their laughter hounded me, but I refused to look back. | His mouth drooped like a hound dog, and his expression was more worried than scary. |
| 1818 | MINX | an impudent girl | The scheme is too breathtaking for the literal, liberal minx mind mired in a claustrophobic clutch of cliches. | But I suppose that’s the way with such women: They wouldn’t be minxes if they weren’t masters of artifice and fraud. |
| 1819 | MUTTON | flesh of sheep used as food | “That’s the only correct way to hold a mutton fork. A trout fork is managed differently.” | There was a picture of Sissy taken twenty years ago”Sissy with a towering crimped pompadour and huge leg-o’-mutton sleeves”Sissy, sixteen years old. |

| 1821 | NOMAD | a member of a wandering tribe | Both groups had panicked, and the encounter had ended with the Indonesians shooting several of the nomads. | Mostly, pottery is owned by sedentary societies: what nomad wants to carry a collection of heavy pots, as well as weapons and the baby, every time he or she shifts camp? |
| 1822 | OSTLER | a person who looks after horses in a inn | “The originals were bloody and holey,” said Richard James, who was playing the part of an ostler looking after the horses. | Encouraged by a fashion for things English under the restored French monarchy and by growing unemployment at home, thousands of workers – bricklayers, ostlers, servant-girls and governesses – were trying their luck across the channel. |

| 1824 | VINEYARD | an area planted with grapes | We dug a hole about a foot deep in one of the rows in the vineyard behind the garage, placed the box inside, and covered it with dirt. | This time, however, we were not going to Fresno to harvest Mr. Sullivan’s vineyards. |
| 1825 | FRUGAL | a person who is very careful in the use of money | It wasn’t just the time and distraction that worried him; although he was frugal, he doubted he would ever make enough money by collecting beetles and writing about coral. | I was always hard-up for cash, no matter how frugal I tried to be. |
| 1826 | AMBULATORY | able to walk after being bedridden | “Okay, the Wraith is ambulatory,” Jesper said, rubbing a sleeve over his damp face. | This Ptolemaic Egypt is an exquisite corpse, a dead polity that is somehow still ambulatory, only waiting for a stake to be put through its heart by the legions of Augustus. |
| 1827 | PREROGATIVE | absolute right | He was asserting his traditional prerogative as a chief and was challenging the authority of the magistrate. | Leaders of little societies, as of big ones, are jealous of their independence and prerogatives. |
| 1828 | ACQUIESCE | accept without protest or silently | “Don’t you know the weather prophet has told us we shall see the sun pretty soonr “Well, that ought to be reason enough,” he acquiesced. | To Ismene, shocking as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce. |
| 1829 | HUMANITIES | branches of learning concerned with literature history and philosophy | I even got picked for AP humanities”the only class in Unity Valley High School that requires teacher references. | The humanities and amenities of life had no attraction for him”its peaceful enjoyments no charm. |
| 1830 | CORONATION | ceremony of crowning a king | “A coronation means a month of balls. We will need new dresses.” | There are more knights at the edges of the crowd than there were when the coronation ceremony began. |

| 1832 | COERCE | compel to a course of action | But to coerce a confession from him, police officers had beaten Joshua so brutally that even in 1965 the Louisiana Supreme Court felt the need to overturn his conviction. | He said that he had told lots of people”from the D.A. on down”that he had been coerced to testify falsely against Walter. |
| 1833 | INDEMNITY | compensation of loss | He saw them in his mind’s eye; he read the fire indemnity coverage, and added them up. | If they got caught by the COs, their mental status was a kind of indemnity. |

| 1836 | SCRIMMAGE | confused struggle or fight | He had arranged this special practice, giving his freshmen a chance to scrimmage against a few members of the varsity, to show off all he had taught them and they were doing lousy, rotten, terrible. | We spent another hour practicing some plays, putting them into action in little scrimmages, and then Coach sent us to the weight room in pairs. |

| 1839 | MINCE | cut into small peaces | I can see them out there now mincing around like they’ve got icicles stuck up their butts. | The little boy crossed his legs at the knees, leaned back, and minced forward twice plus twice more, exactly like a crab that could count. |
| 1840 | AMPUTATION | cutting or arm, leg, etc. by surgery | Diabetes can mean blindness, amputation, and early death. | But Woolf knew that infection and amputation were the least of his worries. |
| 1841 | HARVEST | cutting and gathering of grain | And we can’t spend hours at the lake, out in the open, harvesting enough vines to eat right now. | Not until May were the men harvesting the best of the crop. |
| 1842 | PREDICAMENT | difficult or dangerous situation | They had no idea that a problem had arisen since their departure or that Smith was in a terrible predicament. | The predicament African Americans find themselves in today is not altogether different from the situation they faced during Jim Crow. |

| 1849 | DISMAY | felling of fear and disappointment | That would please Uncle Matthew anyway, Kit thought, bewildered and a little dismayed to glimpse under Nat’s nonchalant surface a flash of the same passion that made life in the Wood household so uncomfortable. | Though I had been dismayed to learn of Gaur’s leaving the ANC, that did not diminish my pleasure in seeing him. |
| 1850 | PRESENTMENT | feeling or impression that something evil is going to happen | The graduate assistant left “immediately,” was “distraught” and called his father, according to the presentment. | His father told him to leave the building and come to his home, according to the presentment. |
| 1851 | GIDDINESS | feeling that everything turns | I feel a rush of relief and giddiness. | They were laughing, Lena and she; collecting the roses, looking up at the man, and laughing from fear, embarrassment, and giddiness. |
| 1852 | NEWFANGLED | fond of new things | And now the difference between a luxury automobile and a newfangled cartoon car began to show itself. | Outside Hudson’s Department Store the crowd was ten thick, jostling to get in the newfangled revolving doors. |
| 1853 | INFATUATION | foolish love | Classical music’s infatuation with mining the riches of the distant past only reinforced the popular impression that it was backward- rather than forward-looking. | Occasionally one of her infatuations would culminate in a lunch or coffee date, an encounter on which she would pin all her hopes but which would lead to nothing. |
| 1854 | FINERY | gay and elegant dress or appearance | And so it was that I entered that enormous L-shaped room, on his arm, in my cashmere finery, to the applause, and then the raised glasses of fifty relatives. | Before them a pale lord in ebon finery sat dreaming in a tangled nest of roots, a woven weirwood throne that embraced his withered limbs as a mother does a child. |
| 1855 | ACCENTUATE | give more force or importance to | Furthermore, since perceptions tend to become realities, the natural tendency of the mass media to accentuate the anomalous, combined with an innumerate society’s taste for such extremes, could conceivably have quite dire consequences. | The candlelight accentuated her rouged cheeks and painted mouth. |
| 1856 | PAWN | give something as a security for debt | The rings were pawned for a hundred and fifty dollars. | “Oh I suppose not,” she sighed, and she sat down to watch their chess match, which culminated in an exciting checkmate of Ron’s, involving a couple of recklessly brave pawns and a very violent bishop. |
| 1857 | COTERMINOUS | having a common terminus or boundary | “Culture” and “law”, then, are not always coterminous; perhaps unwittingly, Weinstein demonstrated that what is legally outlawed can remain socially acceptable. | “Jewishness” is an ill-defined concept, coterminous with neither “Judaism” nor “Jews”. |
| 1858 | SONOROUS | having a full , deep sound | Anderson’s anger, efficiently transmitted through his sonorous, full-toned voice, had shifted from general displeasure with all of us to a focused rage pointed in my direction. | When she spoke, her voice was impossibly sonorous. |
| 1859 | CONGENIAL | having a similar nature, common interest | It was the perfect situation, the two of them together, in so congenial a setting. | He seemed to find their company more congenial than hers. |
| 1860 | WISTFUL | having a vague desire | Jo thought she was asleep, she lay so still, and putting down her book, sat looking at her with wistful eyes, trying to see signs of hope in the faint color on Beth’s cheeks. | By our language, which was both hard and wistful, we transformed the bodies into piles of waste. |
| 1861 | COGNATE | having the same source or origin | A sound without cognate and so without description. | “Domain” derives from Old French, denoting heritable or landed property; its Latin-derived cognate, “domicile,” means, of course, “home.” |
| 1862 | DISSIMULATION | hiding of true feelings | Mordred went over to him with haste, with a sort of shamefaced dissimulation. | The others were more practiced at this particular dissimulation. |
| 1863 | FORFEIT | incur loss through some fault | And though even Duntz had forfeited his composure”had shed, along with tie and coat, his enigmatic drowsy dignity” the suspect seemed content and serene; he refused to budge. | He knew that his life was almost forfeit. |
| 1864 | CONGRUENT | identical in all respects | There was no denying Jenkin’s inescapable logic: to salvage Darwin’s theory of evolution, he needed a congruent theory of heredity. | It begins in southern Spain, congruent with Moorish influence. |
| 1865 | REPERCUSSION | indirect effect or remote effect of some event | It’s about the repercussions of what you did. | The minor run-in with Dussel had several repercussions, for which he had only himself to blame. |
| 1866 | PHOTOMETER | instrument for measuring the intensity of light | Her musical language is too cool, too probing and too subtle to let Emerson get away with a hopefully bright line like “We are all photometers.” | He just needed a photometer 1000 times more sensitive than any available. |
| 1867 | INTERRELATE | interrupt the proceeding and demand a statement or explanation from | The strongest push continues to be into rural areas, where the need for clean water, schools, employment, and housing is interrelated with health care. | Scale and automation have gotten us fed so far, but not without assists from other interrelated ingredients. |
| 1868 | INJUNCTION | judicial process or order to stop something | A decision was the highest injunction that a Communist could receive from his party, and to break a decision was to break the effectiveness of the party’s ability to act. | Also I occasionally forgot the injunction not to flush the toilet at similar hours and, even worse, I went out after 10:00 p.m. |
| 1869 | MARITICIDE | killing of one’s husband | Katherine Crockett failed to ignite the big solo in which the title character relishes the ax she will use to commit mariticide. | She listed a number of ways to commit mariticide, from guns and knives to poison and hitmen before writing “it is easier to wish people dead than to actually kill them”. |
| 1870 | IMPOTENT | lacking in sexual power or sufficient strength to do something | The man’s posture said that he did not enjoy taking orders, and the insolence in his eyes was not slave insolence, an impotent pose, but a hard fact. | “But…it’s the wrong kind of bell,” I say, feeling small and impotent. |
| 1871 | GROAN | make a deep sound of pain | What I didn’t hear was when Dad groaned, looked at Mom, and said, “Oh man, now we have to get a dog.” | Eventually, it made its way to the desk behind me”to Jimmy Long’s desk”which groaned as his body weight shifted. |
| 1872 | DEVASTATE | make desolate | At this moment there was a devastating explosion, or what seemed like an explosion, though it was not certain whether there was any noise. | Poor Brother Eugene had not been seen since that devastating morning. |
| 1873 | ARMAMENT | military forces and their equipments | Krupp, Germany’s legendary armament and munitions manufacturer, had begun secretly working on an initial order of 135 Panzer I tanks. | All those efforts failed because of the Spaniards’ far superior armament. |
| 1874 | SUNDRIES | miscellaneous articles not listed separately | The small shop sold newspapers, magazines, toys, games, ice cream, sundries, and of course, candy. | Mother offered one piece to the grouchy woman in exchange for mailing letters and picking up sundries and news when she went to the village. |
| 1875 | SPECIE | money in form of coins | His arguments were pointed with specie”we doing the punctuation”and with a little bargaining he told us what he knew. | Quintilian goes on to argue, interestingly, that sometimes what might be decorous in practical terms could be unbecoming sub specie aeternitate. |
| 1876 | PATRONYMIC | name derived from father’s name | Another time he had addressed a prison official by his military rank rather than the more respectable name and patronymic. | We learned his birth date, his birthplace, his wife’s ” my grandmother’s ” patronymic. |
| 1877 | PROPENSITY | natural tendency to do something | Northeastern Indians were appalled by the European propensity to divide themselves into social classes, with those on the lower rungs of the hierarchy compelled to defer to those on the upper. | Growing up in a single-parent home roughly doubles a child’s propensity to commit crime. |
| 1878 | CAROUSAL | noisy drinking party or merry making | But Cecchini says such open-air carousal wasn’t an issue at his bars. | Shouldn’t be too much of a jump for audiences to see Don in Vershinin, even if the text is a little more taxing than the usual carousal speech. |
| 1879 | IMPERTINENT | not shoeing proper respect | “Having refused what I considered an impertinent request, I could see that my personal safety was in jeopardy.” | “And he says, “Don’t be an impertinent fool, boy.’ |
| 1880 | SPORADIC | occurring here and there or now and then of or for all | Surveillance in the courtyard had become careless and sporadic. | It was sporadic enough to where you’d think it wouldn’t happen again, but it was frequent enough that you never forgot it was possible. |
| 1881 | OMNIFARIOUS | of all sorts | He”conformably with his rôle of Sir Oracle, omniscient and omnifarious”must have his “cartoons” too; and so on p. | Through a glass partition one saw the shining kitchen with its large modern range, its rows and rows of the most expensive utensils”all donations by the omnifarious army of Mlle. |
| 1882 | STEWARD | one who arranges for the supply of food in a club, school etc. | Not only did the mill grind our wheat and barley”at a cost”it contained the ovens where we villagers, by the steward’s decree, baked our bread, which required yet another fee. | The stewards read his message: “I have a previous engagement.” |
| 1883 | SUITOR | one who courts or woos a woman | For here are suitors eating up your property as long as she holds out”a plan some god put in her mind. | Then godlike in his turn he joined the suitors. |
| 1884 | EXPONENT | one who explains a theory , idea etc. | And Vespucci had sailed 50 degrees south of the equator: this was not just the equatorial antipodes that some exponents of the two-spheres theory had envisaged. | He did a nice job today reviewing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide exponents. |
| 1885 | RECIDIVIST | one who habitually relapses into crime or one who cannot be cured of criminal activities | These sentences were imposed pursuant to California’s controversial three strikes law, which mandates a sentence of twenty-five years to life for recidivists convicted of a third felony, no matter how minor. | In truth, Joe was never given a second, much less a third, chance to “upright himself,” but he was nonetheless characterized at age thirteen as a “serial” or “violent recidivist” by prosecutors. |
| 1886 | SPENDTHRIFT | one who spends one’s money recklessly | Mr. Tomony who owned the pawnshop came home in a hansom cab from his spendthrift evening in New York. | At the same time he was more of a carouser and spendthrift than ever. |
| 1887 | GROCER | one who sells fruit, vegetables etc. from a barrow in the streets | I looked forward to the bill paying because the grocer sometimes rewarded Conrad and me with Sugar Daddy suckers after the grown-ups handed over the money. | “My mother packed it for me. But that’s a good idea”we should find an Indian grocer. Stock up on some of our favorite snacks to energize us while we write.” |
| 1888 | IMPIOUS | one who shows lack of respect or religious reverence | A Hindu upbringing and a Baptist education had precisely cancelled each other out as far as religion was concerned and had left her serenely impious. | The impious wretches had lit the house next to it, and now the steeple burned fiercely. |
| 1889 | FOLIO | page number of a book | Each piece is registered in huge organizational folios that have taken centuries to amass. | It’s not until he finds three huge spiral-bound folios of Jules Verne in Braille that he solves it. |
| 1890 | REMISSION | pardon or forgiveness of sins by god | As for my premonitions, they seem to be in remission, for the moment anyway. | “The doctor says your disease is incurable, but you could have a remission lasting five years, even more, if you take good care of yourself and don’t overdo it.” |
| 1891 | PUNCTILIO | particular point of good conduct , ceremony honour | There lingers, even in our mercantile age, an admiration for the aristocratic ethos, the punctilio, of the duel. | Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo once described the standard of a fiduciary’s conduct to be “something stricter than the morals of the marketplace. Not honesty alone, but the punctilio of an honor the most sensitive.” |
| 1892 | COSIGNATORY | person singing jointly with others | ||
| 1893 | PROTÉGÉ | person to whom another gives encouragement and help | The list of guests included WilliamShort, formerly Thomas Jefferson’s personal secretary in Paris and a lifelong Jefferson protege. | There was no mention of his grandson, Clayton Byrd, as his blues protege. |
| 1894 | RENEGATE | person who changes his religious belief | This is not the regular Baptist stipend; Our Father is a renegade who came without the entire blessing of the Mission League, and bullied or finagled his way into this lesser stipend. | A relative would know personal names and secrets about husbands, babies, renegades and decide which ones were lucky in a chant, but these outside women had to build a path from scraps. |
| 1895 | PARAPHERNALIA | personal belonging , equipments etc. | It was going to be a long march to Redwall, burdened as they were with the battering ram and all the paraphernalia of destruction. | However, months would go by, with no job in sight for my mother, and I would continue without school paraphernalia. |
| 1896 | ELYSIUM | place for ideal peace and happiness | “Like, Elysium, for instance …” “Come on, goat boy.” | “You gave up Elysium,” Frank said in amazement, “so your mother wouldn’t suffer?” |
| 1897 | ROSTRUM | place for public speaking | On the rostrum, seated in three compact rows of auditorium chairs, were about twenty children, mostly girls, ranging in age from about seven to thirteen. | Then he banged his gavel heavily upon the rostrum, adjourning conclave and sealing their fate. |
| 1898 | PIQUANT | pleasant or sharp to the taste | “Is she original? Is she piquant? I would not exchange this one little English girl for the Grand Turk’s whole seraglio, gazelle-eyes, houri forms, and all!” | She handed me a bowl into which the pig’s guts spilled like syrup, quivering pink, blue, and yellow, warm and musky, alive, hard to imagine as solid, piquant, brown sausages. |
| 1899 | SCURRILITY | practise of using abuse | The overture to The Marriage of Figaro brought scurrility and grandeur into collision, with often unnerving effect. | Someone has been in this motel room all night, strewing scurrilities. |
| 1900 | COGENT | presented in a forceful and convening manner | Variation and natural selection offer cogent explanations of the mechanism by which evolution might occur within a species, but they do not explain the formation of species per se. | In the book, Charles was trying to make a strong, coherent, cogent argument for creation by natural selection. |
