This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
alacrity
Pronounced: (ah-LACK-rah-tee)
Noun:
liveliness and eagerness
From Vocabulary.com: “While the noun alacrity normally refers to someone’s peppy behavior, it can also describe a certain mood or tempo of a musical composition, indicating how the music should be played. Alacrity comes from the Latin alacritas, and the Italian musical term allegro is a near relation.”
Example:
“If you bring genuine alacrity to your listing appointments, you’re more likely to win over sellers.”
