Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Noxious = गंदा, हानिकारक; याद रखने के लिए सोचिए कि आगे ob लगा तो और भी ज़्यादा गंदा — obnoxious यानी बेहद अप्रिय, घृणित।
Start from noxious, which already means harmful and nasty. Add 'ob' in front and, to remember it, think of it as even worse: obnoxious is extremely unpleasant and offensive.
