A single word for the phrase 'a part added later' is.

Appeared in: UPPSC-2021

Explanation

  • The Hindi word 'Prakshipt' (प्रक्षिप्त) directly translates to 'interpolated' or 'projected'.
  • In a literary or textual context, it specifically means a part, passage, or text that has been inserted or added at a later time, which was not present in the original version.
  • This meaning perfectly matches the given phrase 'a part added later'.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option B: 'Sankshipt' (संक्षिप्त) means 'brief', 'concise', or 'abridged'. It refers to shortening something, not adding to it.
  • Option C: 'Ulkript' (उल्क्रिप्त) is not a standard or commonly used word in Hindi for this context. It appears to be a fabricated distractor.
  • Option D: 'Kshipt' (क्षिप्त) means 'thrown' or 'hurled'. While 'Prakshipt' is derived from this root, 'Kshipt' by itself does not carry the meaning of 'added later'.

  • This is a general knowledge/language question, not a clinical one.
  • Understanding precise vocabulary is crucial in any professional field, including healthcare, to ensure clear and accurate communication.
  • Using the correct term avoids ambiguity. For example, in medical records, distinguishing between an 'addendum' (a part added later) and a 'summary' (a brief version) is critical.

  • Compare the meaning of each option with the given phrase.
  • Select the option that is the most accurate one-word substitute. 'Prakshipt' is the only word that means something added later, an interpolation.
