Question

Give one word for the following:
To send articles out of the country

Answer 1

Hint: The given description can be summarised by another synonym. Look through the given phrase and understand its meaning. Make sure to differentiate between two synonyms if they seem similar. Then, choose the correct word accordingly.

Complete answer: In grammar, a substitute is used as a noun to refer to a
word that serves as a particular kind of replacement. When one word replaces an entire
phrase and still retains the original meaning, it is called a ‘substitute noun’. For example,
the phrase ‘one who lives for the pleasure of eating and drinking’ can be summarised by
the word ‘epicure’.

The only way to identify them correctly is to memorise them or use etymology to guess
them as accurately as possible. The given phrase refers to changing the structure of
something to make something different out of it. The given phrase describes a very vague situation, which is ‘sending articles/objects out of the country’. This can have many one-word substitutions, so we need to go through all of them to narrow down the answer.

Let us go through the potential options:
courier - The word ‘courier’ refers to ‘send (goods or documents) by courier’. This is a very vague word and it needs more words to contextualise it. This is not the substitution for the given phrase. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
mail - The word ‘mail’ refers to ‘. This is also a very vague word and it needs more words to contextualise it. This is not the substitution for the given phrase. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
export - The word ‘export’ refers to ‘. This word perfectly sums up the given phrase and it is the substitution for the given phrase. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
So, we can conclude that the correct answer is ‘export’.

Note: Some frequently used synonyms of export are transport, transship, consign, smuggle, dump etc.
