I'll stick to four words because I have to study for calculus. =(
Apocryphal (adj) untrue; made up
Although reality television shows claim to use unscripted situations, many people believe that it is fundamentally apocryphal.
Ascendancy (noun) controlling influence; domination
The communist party claimed ascendancy over the Soviet Union in the twentieth century.
Assiduous (adj) diligent
I had never seen such an assiduous bacteria. I had taken four different antibiotics, but the bacteria would not stop attacking my immune system.
Assuage (verb) ease or lessen (pain); satisfy (hunger); soothe (anger)
I was ravenous after my abstemious period, so I assuaged my hunger by eating sausage. The pain in my stomach quickly assuaged.
So.
Apocryphal - made up (reality shows are apocryphal)
Ascendancy - complete influence; domination (a cult leader has ascendancy over their followers)
Assiduous - diligent (the diligent bacteria is assiduous)
Assuage - basically to alleviate hunger, pain, or anger (the sausage assuaged my hunger)
