Phrase | pioneer |
Text | In this podcast, the word "pioneer" is used as a noun meaning someone or something that is the first to do something or has made great progress in an area: "The State of California is a pioneer in making it illegal to smoke in public places." People can be pioneers, too, like the American pioneers who first went to the western part of the United States. Another word for these people is "settlers": the first to come and settle, or make a community, in a new place. Pioneer can also be a verb, "to pioneer," meaning to lead the way or make discoveries for the first time. |
