To understand the meaning of the words "revocation," "discredit," and "stranded," you can break them down into smaller parts and analyze them.
1. Revocation:
- "Revo-" comes from the Latin word "revocare," which means "to call back" or "to revoke."
- "-Cation" is a suffix that denotes an action or process.
Putting these parts together, "revocation" refers to the act or process of calling back or revoking something, typically a law or order.
2. Discredit:
- "Dis-" is a prefix that means "not" or "opposite of."
- "Credit" refers to belief, trust, or reputation.
Combining these parts, "discredit" means to cast doubt on someone's belief, trust, or reputation, or to make something seem less reliable or trustworthy.
3. Stranded:
- "Strand" refers to a shore or a narrow strip of land.
- "-Ed" is a suffix used to form the past tense of a verb.
When you put these parts together, "stranded" means to be left in a difficult, helpless, or isolated situation, often without a means of transportation or assistance, as if left on a narrow strip of land or a shore.
