The dictionary definitions for abject are as follows:
1. Brought low in condition or status. (adjective)

3. Being of the most miserable kind; wretched. (adjective)
Masters Tip to remember Abject:
It’s pretty simple to remember this word: just keep in mind the misery that poverty brings.
It is not a pretty scene to remember but we are only doing so to learn the word. And the image of the word reminds of the same connection: the miserable and abject conditions that poverty has brought in Africa.

Dear Wordpandit Team,
I wholeheartedly thank you for providing such a platform to us students. The ease of access and the user interface makes learning here more fun than learning through any book. I would like to suggest a minor amendment though. It would be really nice if we can get a link for the next word (in queue) or the previous word since this would cut short the time spent in going back to the list and selecting another word from there.
Thanks.
Really appreciate your work guys now learning is fun …Thanx for this awesome site:-)
