Ascend
vAntonymSSC PYQ × 9/əsˈɛnd/ · असेंड
To rise; to go up; to climb up
ऊपर चढ़ना
The path ascends sharply after the bridge.
He ascended to the post within five years.
Daily use: Rasta yahan se ascend karta hai.
Ascend और descend जोड़ी में याद रखिए: descend में de = down, यानी नीचे उतरना; इसलिए ascend = ऊपर चढ़ना। Lift आपको ऊपर send करती है — a-send, ascend।
Learn the pair together: in DEscend, 'de' means down, so descend is to go down and ascend is to go up. Picture a lift that 'sends' you upward — a-SEND, ascend.
Descend इसका सीधा antonym है; decline और slump भी आते हैं। Ascend (चढ़ना), descend (उतरना) और transcend (पार कर जाना) साथ याद रखिए।
Descend is the standard antonym; decline and slump also appear. Keep ascend (climb), descend (go down) and transcend (go beyond) together.
