In Latin, "arca" means chest (as in a treasure chest). A treasure chest probably has some secrets within, and it reminds me what arcane means.

Hey, just thought I'd help you out in understanding the phrase 'the prodigal son returns'. It refers to the story (actually a parable) in the Bible where a son demanded his inheritance (lots of money) from his father then left him. He spent all the money and returned poor to his father many years later. Hence this is the phrase 'the prodigal son returns'. In the Bible, the father embraced his son with joy, welcomed him back with a huge feast, and then scolded his other son for criticizing his zeal for celebrating his son's return in a way he never did for him.

Okay, your videos have been helping me so much! I've learned almost 120 vocab words in two weeks. Doing flashcards and vocab lists were not helping me at all because I was struggling to remember what the definitions were. But your videos are awesome!

Finally, I'm not the only one who struggle with ARCANE !!!!

I'd love to delve into the science behind these quizzes - this is the only technique that so deflly solidifies the words for me - I've tried every cartoon flashcard under the sun! Thank you for your time creativity Greg Mat :)

Listen guys, this is literally the best online resource I found for my GRE preparation. I haven't been preparing that long cause I wanted to do the GMAT first but that is one horrible test, I just became anxious studying for it. I have only switched to the GRE since last week so I needed to find online material I could use to study efficiently and this is just perfect. Normally free material is covered with advertisements or user unfriendly formats etc, but your page is perfectly organized, the explanations are useful, I'm just very, very grateful!!!!! Ok back to studying!

I am taking my GRE in April this year and am committed to doing all your lists and tests. Thanks a lot Greg for this great assortment of words.

21:20 The prodigal son is a story in the Bible! One son takes his inheritance and leaves the family. He spends it wildly and then returns to his father. His father accepts him back, and the loyal son who stayed home with his father was pissed off that his dad brought him back in. I would read it- it’s a good story!

Thanks Dude, As a Asian I am not a native English speakers but this videos are helping me lot in learning new words assiduously each day and will someday make 29/30 correct Hoping the day come soon

This is so fun and somewhat challenging, I love it Thanks for sharing this!

I barely got half, wow this was hard and I thought I had a good vocabulary

amazing job really helpful

love these vocabulary quiz for quick revisions ! thank you !

Concerning number 11, actually, I was surprised when you picked up "mysterious" for "arcane" while I think it is not mysterious at all, but rather it is less common or less familiar or known to the public, though an arcane idea or concept is discernable and easy to understand when it comes to weighing in against the public.

I wish you would offer these tests with more rapidity between each batch of new words. A short lapse of time is desirable. A full minute between the batches of words really tries a person's patience.

If I may, compelling means you are kind of pursuing someone to believe in what you think. Brilliant, on the other hand, means that the idea is already good enough. You do not have to chase someone to believe in anything, it is already perfect. So, persuasive is of course a better fit here.

I'm a native English speaker and in the previous tests, I would always get 25+. I don't understand how non-native speakers do better than me on these tests. Well, they could always be lying or guessing. I also get confused with the other languages I speak so that might be an issue e.g. contendere means to argue/dispute/compete in Italian

Chicanerie does hold the same meaning in conversational french as well

I guessed the word, cacophonous, to be related to sound due to the "phonous" suffix. Anything to do with "phone" has something to do with sound.

Why are you dying

The famous phrase "The prodigal son returns home" is from a famous bible story from Luke 15.

Hi! Do you still not knowing what 'the prodigal son" means? It basically means that the child (especially a son), that moved to live on his own, ends up coming back to live with his/her parents. I know it because that is the only remaining popular use of the word prodigal (= pródigo) in Spanish.

27/30.

The prodigal son is a parable from the Christian bible about a son that took his inheritance, spent it extravagantly and later to return home to seek his fathers forgiveness.

Phone number 30 white it's not "evaluated"? Why glory is better than evaluated?

i thought that complicated is the right answer for 6th one.

In part 4 question 25, "a cosmopolitan city" means "a well-developed international city", therefore i think "advanced" rather than "worldly" is more suitable as a replacement for "cosmopolitan". by the way, doesn't "worldly" mean "physical as opposed to spiritual" and "mundane"? hence, i didn't see any overlapping in their(worldly and cosmopolitan) meanings, except for the "world" part in "worldly" and the "cosmo-(universe)" part in "cosmopolitan". Would anyone like to resolve my doubt to the given answer in the video? much appreciated.
