VOCABULARY FOR INTERESTING PROFESSIONS: MONGER: meaning and examples
Happy Wednesday, readers!
How is your week going? I hope it's going well.
Today we continue our Vocabulary-for-Interesting-Professions theme with the word MONGER.
Definition: A dealer, trader, or promoter of a specific good. Typically, the specific good is at the beginning of the word.
Example 1: I bought this beautiful salmon from my local fishmonger.
Example 2: We went to our neighbourhood cheese shop and got a great recommendation for a cheddar from our cheesemonger.
We also use warmonger and peacemonger for people who promote ideas that contribute to war or peace.
Example 3: I will not vote for that man. He's a warmonger.
Example 4: She worked her entire life as a peacemonger between the two fighting groups.
That's all for today's lesson. I hope you have a nice day!
