SAT word
Standardized admissions test
An SAT word is vocabulary considered difficult or obscure—the kind that appears on standardized tests like the SAT.
The term often carries mild mockery, implying someone is showing off: He kept dropping SAT words into casual conversation.
Such words tend to be Latinate, multisyllabic, and rarely used in everyday speech: *obsequious*, *perspicacious*, *ephemeral*.
