How Do You Spell EXHORT?

Pronunciation: [ɛɡzˈɔːt] (IPA)

The word "exhort" is spelled with a combination of letters that might cause confusion for some. This 6-letter word is pronounced /ɪɡˈzɔː(r)t/ and can be broken down into three sounds: "eg," "zor," and "t." The "ex" at the beginning is simply pronounced as "eg," and the "h" is silent. The "or" in "zor" is sometimes incorrectly spelled as "er." It's important to remember that this word is spelled with an "or" in the middle, not an "er." The final "t" ends the word with a strong, crisp sound.

EXHORT Meaning and Definition

1. Exhort is a verb that means to strongly encourage or urge someone to do something, often by using persuasive or forceful language. It is derived from the Latin word "exhortari," which means to urge or incite.

   When someone exhortes others, they aim to motivate, inspire, or persuade them to take specific actions or adopt particular behaviors. This usually involves using powerful or passionate language to convey a sense of urgency or importance. Those who exhort may employ arguments, appeals, or motivational techniques to elicit a response or desired behavior from their audience.

   The act of exhorting can occur in various contexts, such as religious sermons, motivational speeches, or political rallies. In religious settings, pastors or priests may exhort their congregation to live a virtuous life, find strength in their faith, or adhere to religious teachings. In public gatherings or social movements, leaders may exhort participants to unite, take action, or fight for a cause they strongly believe in.

   Exhortation often carries an underlying sense of authority or moral responsibility. It implies that the person exhorting has a conviction that the action they advocate is essential or beneficial. While exhorting can be powerful in inspiring others, it can also be perceived as pushy or overbearing if not done tactfully or respectfully.

2. To advise; to warn or caution; to animate or incite by words.
