ak-wee-ESS
(verb) To accept something reluctantly but without protest.
He acquiesced to the board’s decision, even though he disagreed.
Fun Fact
“Acquiesce” often appears in legal writing or formal agreements, describing passive consent. In pop culture, it shows up in scenes where characters silently give in—not out of agreement, but exhaustion, loyalty, or inevitability.
muhl-tuh-FAIR-ee-us
(adjective) Having many varied parts, aspects, or forms.
The festival featured a multifarious mix of music, art, and food from all over the world.
From Latin multifarius, meaning “in many places” or “of many kinds,” from multus (“many”).
Fun Fact
Writers often use multifarious to describe anything bursting with variety—city streets filled with different cultures, ecosystems teeming with species, or personalities with countless layers. The word has a grand, almost kaleidoscopic quality to it, hinting at complexity that’s both overwhelming and beautiful. It’s a favorite in fields like biology and art criticism where diversity isn’t just present—it’s essential.
