Learn to be whyser with a word a day

whys:
When whys needs to be 'whys'er, she learns new words. :)

But seriously, I need to expand my vocabulary by a lot. Not just for vce, but for the life that exists beyond that too.
I remember carrying around a 'book of new words' in primary school that I was very proud of, but I never really did much other than write words in there. I never used the words in it and soon forgot about the book, and ended up losing it - not much of a suprise if I was to be frank with myself. So, time to take it up again, this time better than before!

So, care to join me on my vocab journey?

whys:
1 - PERFUNCTORY
(adjective) Carried out with a minimum of effort or refelction.
This website I visited described this word as the 'grown-up way to say half-assed,' and I think it's a pretty good way to put it.
[Her perfunctory performance on the previous assessment demonstrated the room for improvement she had yet to fill.]

whys:
2 - VERDURE
(noun) lush, green vegetation.
[As I walked out of the makeshift tent - a perfunctory set-up by the others - it wasn't the crystalline river water that surprised me; rather the abundant acres of verdure - a sight impossible to see in the city.]
(A long sentence, but I wanted to include the previous word in it too!)

whys:
3 - INDICT
(verb) formally accuse with a crime.
[He was indicted with the crime of destroying the farmer's crops and lands of lush verdure to secure the success and profit of his own.]
