Ostentatious

Tagged as: Feb 19

[os-ten-tey-shuh s]

Definition:

Characterized by intending to impress others with obvious and conspicuous show.

Example of usage:

The engagement ring is a significant symbol to people but the 4 carat diamond that she keeps flaunting is simply ostentatious.

Comments:

This word is a synonym of “showy” and can be incorporated to more aptly describe someone’s behavior rather than saying that they are “showing-off”, as is more commonly done.
