I have this english project that I have to do every week. I have to write ten words and basically give information on them from the meaning to the origin. I'm only asking for words that an advanced placed freshman in high school would not know or know little on.
examples
1. nostalgic
2. juxtapostion
3. expriate
5. reproach
so if you could add to my list that would be great :)

No such word as expriate.
expropriate
expiate
excoriate
preclude
preempt
prevaricate
My suggestion is this: download Wordweb from http://www.wordweb.info and in your free time, look at the entries and check their definitions. There are also examples included there on how these are used in sentences.
Have fun.

The reason you have the homework assignment is so you can learn. Check out the dictionary or the thesaurus.
