Memory trick · Prashant Sir

याद रखने के लिए 'in' यानी नहीं और नुक़सान का भाव सोचिए, वही भाव जो noxious (हानिकारक) में है। Innocent वह जिसने कोई नुक़सान या ग़लत काम न किया हो — भोला-भाला, निर्दोष।

To remember it, think of 'in' (not) and the idea of harm, the same harm that sits in noxious (harmful). An INNOCENT person has done no harm and no wrong, and is often too simple to know of wrongdoing.

Exam note

Innocent यानी निर्दोष या भोला; innocuous यानी हानिरहित (बात या चीज़)। Guilty, culpable antonym; guiltless, blameless, naive synonym हैं।

Innocent means not guilty or naive; innocuous means harmless (of a thing or remark). Guilty and culpable are antonyms; guiltless, blameless and naive are synonyms.
