Question

Paragon

2. model of excellence or perfection of a kind; one having no equal

like an easy example or something. or rhyme i'm not really sure

Answer 1

She was a paragon of virtue.

Answer 2

Begin with a simple definition: A paragon is a model of excellence.

Here's how we use the word: The class disliked him because the teacher was always pointing him out as a paragon of virtue.

The more different usage examples you find (perhaps by looking it up in various online dictionaries or googling it), the better sense you will have.

Example: While not an architectural paragon to be copied, the sturdy old brick hourse has withstood many hurricanes.

An alternative way is the key word method. For example, you might think of a sound alike, "pair of guns," and imagine that these are perfect guns, made of pure silver. Sometimes that will help a word stick in your memory.

If this or another answer here proves helpful in your research, you can encourage good answers by choosing one answer as the "best answer."
