Deride - answer✔To "ride" people is to get on their case or give them a hard time, and to
deride is to do the same with insulting language or poor treatment. Deride comes from the
Latin root dērīdēre, meaning "to ridicule, to scorn," and it's often used to express dislike or
even hatred.
Ridicule - answer✔When you ridicule someone, you mock or make fun of them. They
become the object of your ridicule or mockery. Your bad behavior might bring ridicule on
your parents, who raised you to know better.
Desolate - answer✔If you feel alone, left out, and devastated, you feel desolate. A deserted,
empty, depressing place can be desolate too.
Fidelity - answer✔Fidelity is the quality of being faithful or loyal.
Fidelity comes from the Latin root fides, which means faith, so fidelity is the state of being
faithful.
Remit - answer✔Remit contains the prefix "re-", which means again and the word mit
which means to send. Thus, remit means to send something back. Of the choices given, send
back, means to send again.
Legible - answer✔Legible describes readable print or handwriting. If someone tells you
that your writing looks like "chicken scratch," it might not be legible, except to other
chickens.
Legible goes back to the Latin word legibilis, meaning "that can be read." If you can read
someone's handwriting, it is legible.
Neophyte - answer✔Neo- means new, and -phyte is from the Greek phuton "plant"--like a
baby plant, a neophyte is someone who is new to an activity.
Auxiliary - answer✔The Latin word auxilium means "help," and so auxiliary means
something that "helps" by providing backup or support.
