That's ok! It's a nifty little word to have up your sleeve.

Thankyou so much, this is really helpful and easy to understand :)
Whats the percentage distribution that you would advise in a AOS essay between prescribed text and related text?

Some people suggest 70-30, (which I tend to think is a bit low), others 60-40. I think 60-40 is closest to being perfect in terms of balance. Admittedly, I got pretty close to 50/50 for balance between the two at times. I tend to think that as long as your related text doesn't overtake your analysis of your prescribed text, then you're all good!
60/40 should be your aim, I think! :)
