buh-SEECH
She beseeched her friend to forgive her after the argument.
Fun Fact
Used as far back as the Middle Ages, “beseech” carries a tone of humility and desperation. In Shakespeare’s plays, characters often beseech gods, kings, and loved ones, emphasizing their helplessness or sincerity. Today, the word still conveys a depth of feeling beyond a simple “please.”
gri-GAIR-ee-us
(adjective) Fond of company; sociable.
Always gregarious, Mia effortlessly gathered people together wherever she went.
From Latin gregarius, meaning “belonging to a flock,” from grex — “herd” or “group.”
Fun Fact
In biology, animals described as gregarious naturally seek out groups—think flocking birds, schooling fish, or grazing herds. Humans show similar patterns: social behavior often strengthens memory, resilience, and mood. The word paints a picture of someone who thrives when surrounded by others, moving through life the way birds lift together on a shared current.
