I am studying 1100 word, and there are still a lot of words I need to find their meanings. But, their meaning is already known by me. So, I wonder what is the need of knowing words that you know them in another shape - morphology expert?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Why would you need to find their meanings if you already know the meanings?

P.S.
Why are there a lot of words for one simple thing... for example walk...stroll, trudge, etc.

Words like this with similar meanings nevertheless have different nuances. For example "stroll" has a leisurely feel, while "trudge" has a gloomy and tiring feel. Such words add colour and richness to the language. I am certain that you can find very similar examples in your own native language.
