News Words: Lavish

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
The son of Asia’s richest man recently married during a huge celebration his family held in Mumbai, India.
LAVISH
International stars, business leaders and politicians attended the four-day wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. It followed months of lavish parties in their honor.
Lavish in this case is an adjective meaning far beyond what is necessary in amount and cost.
But it can be a verb too.
For example, you can lavish someone with praise and prizes for a job well done.
