Easy Visual Vocabulary Builder: “Cloister”

Posted by Grad Street Journalist on Jun 30, 2008 at 8:18 PM

The "Visual Vocabulary Builder" is an innovative way of remembering tough words and increasing one's vocabulary through the use of images, references and examples. We were truly stunned at discovering the amazing potential of using such a method of increasing one's vocabulary for competitive examinations like CAT, GMAT etc. and the like.


CLOISTER
(KLOY stur)
a tranquil, secluded place
Link (similar sounding word): OYSTER 
Examples:
  • Mary regarded her sewing room as a CLOISTER where she could withdraw from the hectic life of a mother of six and enjoy moments of privacy.
  • (To CLOISTER someone is to place them in a place of seclusion, although they may or may not be in the company of others.) Jim CLOISTERED himself in his hotel room for the entire week of his vacation.
