Animadversion.
Meretricious.
Hortatory.

The Revised General Gre is no longer riddled with obscure words. The focus has largely changed to contextual meanings of words and complex-- mostly convoluted-- sentences for the sentence equivalence and text completion sections.

Also, about half of all verbal questions are reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions.

It seems the priority is in comprehending grad-level passages, like those in journals and highbrow publications, such as the New York Times.
