Learn how to use this word effectively in your writing and conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever noticed how some people or things stand out from the crowd? They&#8217;re impossible to ignore, almost as if they&#8217;ve been highlighted or tagged for attention.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;re exploring today with our GRE vocabulary word: marked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Marked is primarily used as an adjective, though it can also function as the past tense and past participle of the verb &#8220;to mark.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> When we say something is marked, we&#8217;re referring to it being clearly noticeable, pronounced, or conspicuous.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a way of describing something that&#8217;s easily observed or recognized, often because it&#8217;s significantly different from its surroundings or from what&#8217;s considered normal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word &#8220;marked&#8221; comes from the Old English &#8220;mearcian,&#8221; meaning to put a sign or mark on something.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, its usage expanded to describe anything that stands out or is notably different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some antonyms for marked include subtle, inconspicuous, unremarkable, and indistinct. These words all describe things that don&#8217;t stand out or draw attention to themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Synonyms for marked include noticeable, obvious, evident, pronounced, distinct, and conspicuous.<\/p>\n<p>All these words convey the idea of something being clearly apparent or standing out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was a marked improvement in her performance after she started working with a tutor. The two siblings had a marked resemblance to each other, making it easy to tell they were related.<\/p>\n<p>The scientist observed a marked difference in the behavior of the experimental group compared to the control group.<\/p>\n<p>Common errors in use: One common mistake is confusing &#8220;marked&#8221; with &#8220;remarkable.&#8221; While both words can describe something noteworthy, &#8220;marked&#8221; specifically emphasizes that something is clearly noticeable or distinct, while &#8220;remarkable&#8221; suggests that something is worthy of notice or extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>In your GRE preparation and beyond, keep an eye out for the word &#8220;marked.&#8221; You&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s a useful term for describing significant changes, differences, or characteristics that are impossible to overlook.<\/p>\n<p>By incorporating this word into your vocabulary, you&#8217;ll be able to express yourself with greater precision and sophistication in your writing and conversations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marked: Highlighting the Conspicuous and Distinct Explore the meaning and usage of the GRE vocabulary word &#8216;marked,&#8217; which describes something that is clearly noticeable, pronounced, or conspicuous.
