What's the point of learning the whole dictionary?
Those words you quoted are of no particular use.
As an experienced english learner I advise you that you learn how to deal with more simple words. Smile

I think there is no need to learn the whole dictionary. Even if you have a great wish you can't do it. In order to learn new English words just read the dictionary and choose those words you use in your everyday life. You can write a post telling us about the words you have chosen and we'll make up sentences with them. Very Happy

Hi LS

I doubt that abacterial is likely to be used this way. I would expect it to be used (especially by medical experts) to describe an ailment which is not caused by or has no significant presence of bacteria.
-------------------------------

antibacterial (a)
destructive to or inhibiting the growth of bacteria

Nowadays, most liquid soaps are advertised as being antibacterial. It takes about two minutes for the antibacterial components to do their job. Unfortunately, when people wash their hands, they usually wash the soap off sooner than that.

Oops! I just noticed that lovelyjitu already submitted 'abacus'!

Antidote: A remedy to counteract the effects of a poison; something that relieves, prevents or counteracts.
