Choosing the right synonym

  • Sentence evidence is available for acropolitan, so synonym choice can be checked against real usage rather than a flat word list.

Synonym selection checklist

  • Match the part of speech before comparing meanings.
  • Check whether the synonym changes intensity, formality, or emotional tone.
  • Read the replacement inside the full sentence, not just beside "acropolitan".
  • Prefer the clearest word over the most unusual word when writing for speed or comprehension.

When not to replace "acropolitan"

Keep "acropolitan" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.

If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.

Replacement workflow

1. Preserve meaning

Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "acropolitan" intact in the sentence you are editing.

2. Tune tone

Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.

3. Re-read context

Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.

Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.

Final fit check

After choosing a replacement for "acropolitan", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.

If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "acropolitan" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

Tatoeba + Wiktionary

Who first surrounded the Acropolitan platform with a wall, is unknown, but it is probable that the work of Pelasgi may be traced in part of the boundary wall, from a division of it having received that name by tradition. The walls of Tiryns and Mycenæ, are the finest remains of Acropolitan building in Greece, but they are inferior in magnitude to erections, (called Cyclopean), of Norba, in Latium; and several other Pelasgic fortresses of Cora, Signia, and Alatrium, in Italy, (the walls of which resemble those of Tiryns, Argos, and Mycenæ,) whose wonderful ruins exhibit walls of equal strength and solidity with those of Argolis.
