LOTF 4 VOCAB

Interminable-wearisomely dragged out-endless-something that will never end-the mans speech seemed interminable

iridescent-a play of colors producing rainbow effects-rainbow-something that produces many colors-the many bubbles reflected rainbows everywhere

lamentation-the act of expressing grief-sorrow-expressing your emotions-the lamentation on the boys face.

malevolently-wishing evil or harm on others-evil-evil in influence-the girl who was tormented, malevolently made the girls get hurt.

muted-reduced volume-softened-unable to hear or speak-the mute had a taught time communicating in school

obscurely-not clear or plain-vague-hardly seen-the room was dark and obscure

obtuseness-not quick or alert in precaution-dull-slow reaction-the kids reflexes were slow and obtuse.

officious-aggressive in offering help-advice-someone offering help/advice-the woman was an officious person

opalescence-having a milky iridescence-

opaque-not shining; dark-dull-not transparent-the plates at the table were opaque
