Today's vocabulary word – Neophyte

Categories: Vocabulary Building Words |

Sometimes people make mistakes or act foolishly because they are so new to a situation they haven’t had a chance to learn the correct information. A person like this is a “neophyte” – literally “newly planted,” from the Greek root “neo” meaning “new.” While this word merely means “beginner” or “novice,” it’s often used in a derogatory fashion, implying that because the person is new, they’re also lower in social status than the speaker.

Example: “That secretary is such a neophyte she can’t even operate the fax machine.”
