Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Vacillate में ‘वैसे ही late’ सुनिए। जो हिचकिचाता रहे — यह रास्ता या वह — वह वैसे ही late हो जाता है। Oscillate भी साथ याद रखिए; दोनों में इधर-उधर डोलने का भाव है।

Hear ‘vaise hi late’ (late just like that) in VACILLATE. A person who keeps wavering — this road or that one — misses the train and is late just like that. Remember oscillate too: both mean swinging back and forth.
