I'm gaving trouble understanding the word fervor...and emotive?

Question

does emotive mean emotional??? fervor has me confuse can you explain?also the word condone....plz??

Answer 1

Emotive - here's what the dictionary says-
"1 : of or relating to the emotions
2 : appealing to or expressing emotion"

So, essentially, emotive does mean emotional.

Fervor - dictionary definition-
"1 : intensity of feeling or expression
2 : intense heat"

I think of it as meaning "with intense, frenzied passion or zeal".

Condone - dictionary definition-
"to regard or treat (something bad or blameworthy) as acceptable, forgivable, or harmless "

Basically it means that you not only tolerate something, but that you directly or indirectly support it as well. Usually refers to something negative like bad behavior or bad policy.

Answer 2

Your right about emotive. Fervor also has to do with emotions. It means a 'warmth of emotions.' But, how it's most often use is for 'passion,' as in someones having a passion for music, i.e., it might be said . . . He listened to the performance with great fervor. Condone means to forgive or overlook. With reference to a very lenient parent, for example, one might say . . . She 'condones' her childes behavior, no matter how inappropriate. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Fervor: Great warmth and intensity of emotion
Emotive: relating to emotion
Condone: to forgive

Fervor is a good emotion, whereas emotive could mean anything from angry to anxious
