  2. WORDDEFINITION • Countenance facial expression • Profound deep, has deep meaning • Manifest obvious • Prodigious huge • Languor weakness

  3. Dictionary Work • Look up your CE words in the dictionary. • Find the guide words on the page where the CE words are found. • Write the CE word, the dictionary page number, and the guide words. • Use this information to complete a chart on your paper, like the one below.

  4. COUNTENANCE • The English NOUN countenance refers to the contents of the face. –Facial expressions- A person’s countenance can be cheerful, stormy, or sad. James Fennimore Cooper used countenance in his 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans: “The countenance of Hawk-eye was haggard and careworn, and his air dejected.

  5. PROFOUND • The ADJECTIVE profound, from the Latin word profundus, means deep, and in a related way, it can also mean complete or even absolute. An ocean can be profound, but so can an idea. There can be profound differences between people. • In James Barrie’s Peter Pan, Captain Hook was “profoundly dejected,” which meant that he was DEEPLY sad. • What do you think Jonathan Swift meant in his 1726 book, Gulliver’s Travels, when he described “profound learning”? In what way can learning be profound???

  6. MANIFEST • The English ADJECTIVE manifest comes from the Latin manifestus. When something is manifest, it is completely apparent and open to view. • Martin Luther King wrote that “The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.” • Could confidence be manifest on your countenance?

  7. PRODIGIOUS • The English ADJECTIVE prodigious, means huge or marvelous. Things that are prodigious are amazing. • Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about prodigious numbers of seagulls and of a “prodigious valley, strewn with rocks and where ran a foaming river.”

  8. LANGUOR • Langour is weakness, either of body or of mind. Languor comes from the Latin verb languere, to languish. If you are weak, weary, tired, or droopy, you are in a state of languor. The noun languor can transform and appear as the adjectives languid and languorous or as the verb languish.
