Read a random definition: vexatious
Term: FAKE
Definition: A fake is something that is not real or genuine. It is made to look like something it is not. For example, a fake diamond may look like a real diamond, but it is not. People may also pretend to be someone they are not, and this is called being a fake or an impostor. To make something fake is to create it falsely, or to make a copy that is not real. This is also called counterfeiting.
Definition: Something that is not genuine or authentic.
Example: A fake Rolex watch that is made to look like the real thing, but is not actually made by the company.
Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of fake because the watch is not a genuine Rolex, but rather a counterfeit or fake version made to look like one. It is not authentic and does not have the same quality or value as a real Rolex.
