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:
jejune
Pronounced: (jeh-JOON)
Adjective:
1. lacking interest or significance or impact
2. displaying or suggesting a lack of maturity
3. lacking in nutritive value
From Vocabulary.com: “Basically jejune means lacking substance. It originally comes from the Latin word jejunus, which means “fasting,” so when something is jejune, it’s figuratively empty — devoid of intellectual nourishment.”
Example:
“Avoid writing a jejune bio full of business buzzwords. Instead, share your personal story in your authentic voice.”
