Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Threatening, threat से बना है; threat, threaten, threatening एक ही family है। जिसमें नुकसान की threat छिपी हो, वह threatening है, जैसे तूफ़ान से पहले काले बादल। Reassuring उल्टा भाव है।
THREATENING grows from threat: threat, threaten, threatening are one family. Something threatening carries a threat of harm, like dark clouds before a storm. Reassuring is the opposite feeling.
