What is one word substitution?

The use of one word in place of a lengthy-phrase to make the sentence structure simpler is known as one word substitution. With the phrase replaced, the meaning remains the same but the statement gets shorter. They are also known as “Verbatim”, as One Word Substitution also means to replace a word without changing the meaning or its context. . In addition to this, one-word substitution is frequently asked in n any national-level examinations, including SBI PO, UPSC, CAPF, CDS, RRB, SSC, and others.

Example of one word substitution

“A book that was published after the death of its author” will change into Posthumous.

Or

“She teaches the study of the star, space and physical universe.” will change into “She teaches astronomy.” 

One Word Solution: How to Solve It

To solve one word substitution you have to first determine the root word, followed by determining its suffix and prefix. Many words like Biology which is derived from the Greek word bios (prefix) which means life and logos (suffix) which means study.  Hence, biology refers to the study of living things.

Why it is better to use one word substitution in an exam?

One word substitution replaces a group of words and gives out the same meaning more easily. Students with good knowledge of one word substitution will write better essays and reports. Being precise in an examination is important, just trying to fill out the paper will not guarantee you good marks. Using these words will make your paper more precise and communicate the meaning of what you have written easily and effortlessly. 

Benefits of One Word Substitution

  • Use of it makes the language and writing concise.
  • The meaning remains the same yet shorter
  • It lessens the words
  • The language is briefly expressed
  • It helps expand your vocabulary.
