HIERARCHY - Steemit word of the day
hi·er·ar·chy
Realizing that Steemit is an international platform with users of varying degrees of proficiency in the English language, I thought it would be helpful to the Steemit community to highlight a useful English word, a word that will be applicable to their Steemit experience. English is a very expressive language. According to the Oxford English Dictionary modern English utilizes 171,476 words. Today’s word Hierarchy is only one of them, but fret not, I will be posting many more useful words, so stay tuned logophiles and vebivores!
noun
- A system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority. synonyms: pecking order, order, ranking, chain of command, grading, gradation
- The upper echelons of a hierarchical system; those in authority.
- An arrangement or classification of things according to relative importance or inclusiveness. - example "a taxonomic hierarchy of phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species"
That’s a good idea to clear up some words. English words have often so many meanings that it is quite challenging to get the understanding of two – three words especially when the prepositions are used, perhaps, to completely confuse foreigner…
Yes, that's true. And when words are put together in a group they can get a point across on their own.
