Paul or Bob? The coach told his team, "Move towards that side of the field"; because he did not point, his directions were ambiguous, and the team had no idea to which side he was referring.

Amorphous (adj.)
Amorphous means shapeless. Morph- comes from the Latin for shape. The root a-, as in atypical, means not or without. Therefore, if something is amorphous, it lacks shape. His study plan for the GRE was at best amorphous; he would do questions from random pages in any one of seven test prep books.
Amenable (adj.)
Amenable means easily persuaded. If someone is cooperative and goes along with the program, so to speak, that person is amenable. Amenable can also be used in the medical sense: if a disease is amenable to treatment, that disease can be treated. Even though she did not like bad weather, Shirley was generally amenable and decided to accompany her brother to the picinc.
Amiable (adj.)
Amiable means friendly. It is very similar to amicable, another common GRE word. Amicable, however, does not refer to a person the way that amiable does, but rather refers to relationships between people. You'll notice that amicable is, therefore, the opposite of acrimonious (see below). Amy's name was very apt: she was so amiable that she was twice voted class president.

Affable (adj.)
Likeable, easy to talk to: affable is similar to amiable. The differences are subtle, and as far as the GRE is concerned, you can treat them as the same word. Like amiable, this word is great to use to describe people we know. After all, everyone knows an affable person. For all his surface affability, Marco was remarkably glum when he wasn't around other people.

Alacrity (n.)
means an eager willingness to do something. (take the suffix crity we can link it with creativity.creative people are so eager to learn n create things differently.) So imagine the first day at a job that you've worked really hard to get. How are you going to complete the tasks assigned to you? With alacrity, of course. An interesting correlation: the more alacritous (adjective form) you are when you're learning GRE vocabulary, the better you will do. The first three weeks at his new job, Mark worked with such alacrity that upper management knew they would be giving him a promotion.
anachronism
something out of place in time ana (out of order, negative sense) + chron (time).. so something not placed correctly with respect to time. $ https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4098/4857101224_614d21aecd_m.jpg

Ambivalent (adj.)
when you are ambivalent you have mixed or conflicting emotions about something. Students often believe that to be ambivalent towards something is to be indifferent. The truth is almost the opposite. Imagine somebody asked you what it was like studying for the GRE. Sam was ambivalent about studying for the GRE because it ate up a lot of her time, yet he learned many words and improved at reading comprehension.
