The Word Is "study"

RCS Word Power: Your growing word Power

 

 
            "Study" had beginnings in the idea of eagerness and intense application.  It was soon applied to "application to learning."

            Now "study" can refer to a careful examination, an analysis of a phenomenon, or a question. Study can also be a state of contemplation or an application of the mental faculties to getting knowledge.

            As you deepen and widen your understanding of the words used in each of these paragraphs, so increases your understading of "study" and other even better stuff.

            "Study" refers to learning through meditation or reflection as well as to read in detail with the intention of learning. To study is to pursue knowledge by research and observation.

            It is also an attentive scrutiny.  It's to apply one's mind purposefully to getting knowledge and understanding. It can be to inquire or investigate with some intensity. As satisfying as study is, it's healthy to kickback and relax for a while. But not yet. First remember that study can be to inquire or investigate with some intensity.

            Study means a lot. It can be to ponder and reflect upon a body of knowledge so as to better understand it. So, just as you thought, it is much about careful attention. Pay attention! The price may be cheap and get you good value.

            Study is almost always attention to and contemplation of your own experience and that of others. Experience can be a very good teacher. For experience to be a good teacher it needs to be thoughtfully observed and contemplated. Usually personal experience, to teach,  must first be remembered. That is, it needs to be studied.

            Study is a way find things out and to get new or renewed understanding. Know what I mean?

            May you feel your growing word power.

            Thank you for reading.
