Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Humane = human + e। उस extra e के साथ human बन जाता है humane — ऐसा दयालु जो लोगों और जानवरों को बेवजह कष्ट न होने दे। Cruel, barbaric, ruthless इसके उल्टे हैं।

HUMANE is human + e. Add that extra e and a human being becomes humane: kind enough to make sure that people and animals do not suffer. Cruel, barbaric and ruthless are its opposites.

Exam note
