verb
You might complain or grumble about some wrong you see, or, for a
stronger effect, you can "inveigh" against it. "Inveigh" comes from the
Latin verb "invehere," which joins the prefix "in-" with the verb
"vehere," meaning "to carry." "Invehere" literally means "to carry in,"
and when "inveigh" first appeared in English, it was also used to mean
"to carry in" or "to introduce." Extended meanings of "invehere,"
however, are "to force one's way into," "attack," and "to assail with
words," and that's where the current sense of "inveigh" comes from. A
closely related word is "invective," which means "insulting or abusive
language." This word, too, ultimately comes from "invehere."
Name That Synonym: What synonym of "inveigh" rhymes with "type." The answer is …
