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:
retinue
Pronounced: (RET-ih-noo)
Noun:
the group following and attending to some important person
From Vocabulary.com: “A retinue is a group of people that accompany an important person. If you’re a king or queen, you can think of a retinue as your royal crew or posse. Retinue shares a root with retain. This fact can help you remember the word. If you hire someone to help you out while you travel, you are retaining their services.”
Example:
“When sellers hire me, they can also rely on my retinue of cleaners, painters, stagers, inspectors, and title professionals.”
