That uncomfortable feeling you&#8217;re experiencing?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s hostility. Today, we&#8217;re exploring this powerful word that often appears on the SAT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Hostility is a noun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> Hostility refers to unfriendly or antagonistic attitudes, actions, or feelings. It&#8217;s the state of being hostile, characterized by an opposition or resistance towards someone or something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word hostility has its roots in the Latin word hostilis, meaning enemy. It entered the English language in the early 15th century, initially referring to acts of warfare or armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, its usage expanded to include any form of unfriendly or aggressive behavior, not just in the context of war.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Some synonyms for hostility include animosity, antagonism, enmity, ill will, and belligerence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> On the flip side, antonyms of hostility are friendliness, amity, goodwill, and cordiality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s look at how hostility can be used in various contexts. The negotiations broke down due to the hostility between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>The newcomer was met with open hostility from the close-knit community. There was an undercurrent of hostility in her voice when she spoke to her rival.<\/p>\n<p>Common errors in use: One common mistake is confusing hostility with mere disagreement or dislike. Hostility implies a stronger, more active form of opposition or unfriendliness.<\/p>\n<p>Another error is using hostility when hostilities would be more appropriate in the context of war or armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the nuances of words like hostility can significantly boost your SAT score. It&#8217;s not just about knowing the definition, but also about recognizing its connotations and how it&#8217;s used in different contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, hostility goes beyond simple dislike or disagreement \u2013 it&#8217;s an active state of unfriendliness or antagonism.<\/p>\n<p>By mastering words like this, you&#8217;re not only preparing for the SAT, but also enhancing your ability to express complex ideas and emotions in your everyday communication.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAT Vocabulary: Understanding &#8216;Hostility&#8217; Learn about the word &#8216;hostility&#8217; for your SAT prep.
