?Which word?

Keep the too-decorated words together: florid (too decorated), ornate (with a lot of decoration), flowery (of language, too elaborate), bombastic (using long words to sound important), grandiloquent.

अत्यधिक सजावट के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: florid (अत्यधिक अलंकृत), ornate (बहुत सजावट वाला), flowery (भाषा के लिए, अत्यधिक विस्तृत), bombastic (महत्वपूर्ण दिखने के लिए लंबे शब्द), grandiloquent।

Keep apart florid (red; over-decorated) and fluid (liquid; flowing).

Florid (लाल; अत्यधिक अलंकृत) और fluid (तरल; प्रवाही) को अलग रखिए।
