The Daily Post Prompt today is the word inchoate. It’s a word I never use. In fact, I consider it a rather worthless word. But when I saw it, I was consumed with a sudden desire to see just how many useful words I could make from it. So here goes. If you readers find some I’ve missed, feel free to post them in the ‘Comments’ window below.
INCHOATE:
in, inch, it, hi, hie, ate, at, an, ha, hot, hat, hate, hen, oh, ah, heat, hint, hon, con, coat, cot, cat, can, chin, ten, tan, ton, tone, teach, the, than, then, thin, nich, oat, hone, cone, cane, note, not, net, neat, chant, can’t, echo, ice, nice, taco, nacho, cinco.
(That makes 50 regular words.)
And then there are proper names:
Enoch, Nate, Nat, Theo, Thane, Cane, Chet
Great fun!
What’s it mean?
It means “in the beginning stages, undeveloped, Immature, emerging, etc. ” That’s why I consider it a worthless word. There are at least ten other words that can be used to say the same thing, and most people would know what they mean. Almost no average person knows the meaning of “inchoate,” so, personally, I think it’s stupid to use it.
Now I know! No need to add that word to my vocabulary. 🙂
Cheat, On, Chit, Chin, eat, Tea this is what I could see at a glance!

Great. Thanks for the additions.
🙂 It was fun, My pleasure!
