I like this word, but it is certainly not a common one so I have found it <strong>hard to remember<\/strong>. Recalling words can be tough, even in our own languages! The way I have managed to fix this particular word in my memory is by looking at its etymology. It is composed of two Greek words: &#8216;petra&#8217;, meaning stone and &#8216;ichor&#8217;, the blood of the gods. This small <strong>network of associations<\/strong> in my brain makes recall far easier because I have a <strong>deeper understanding<\/strong> of the word and it is <strong>connected to other bits of knowledge<\/strong> in my head. However, etymology is by no means the only way to improve retention of vocabulary. <strong>Click on the neural network below to find out more<\/strong> and boost your study skills!<\/h4>\n<h4>Ed Taylor (Head of Studies at King&#8217;s Training)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/quizzes\/what-can-we-know-about-a-word\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11004 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-624x351.jpg 624w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diseno-sin-titulo-23.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a word in English for the smell dry earth produces when it has just been rained on: &#8216;petrichor&#8216;.
