Phrase | combination |
Text | The word "combination," in this podcast, means the series of numbers, usually three sets of two digits, needed to open a door, lid, or lock: "The combination on his briefcase is just his birthday: 04-17-65." Normally a "combination" is a mixture of two or more things that are used together: "She felt a combination of excitement and fear." Or, "This restaurant serves an interesting combination of Greek and Thai foods." The word "combination" can also refer to something used for more than one purpose: "This room is our combination guest room and home office." Finally, the phrase "a winning combination" refers to two or more things or people that work very well together: "Lilia is a great salesperson and Perry is an excellent web designer, so when they opened an online business together, it was a winning combination." |
