What happened to this thread 

These following two words really interested me as they are close in meaning

Magnanimous: very generous or forgiving especially towards someone that is less powerful or lower in rank/status
Example: the student was greatly appreciative of his teacher's willingness to magnanimously provide free after-hours tuition.

Munificent: more generous than what is expected
Example: Sarah's munificent donation allowed the fundraising team to raise greater funds than what was expected.

Hey there, I think you may want to hit up a good dictionary before you start using these words. It seems you're basing some of your definitions from the context in which you read it? For example: "Plunder - to come about", bit of an odd definition by my books. Great list, but maybe make it your homework to look up all these words again and list whether they are a noun/verb etc and then try to use them in your future writing!

Sure I wasn't so sure about the context of the words either. I'll try working on that.
 Thanks for the feedback!
