Peruse





Previous Page



Peruse :



This word, which means “examine thoroughly” is often misused to mean “glance over hastily.”


Although some dictionaries accept the latter meaning, it is not traditional.


When it is used to mean “look through” it is not standard to add “through” to “peruse.”


It’s not “peruse through the records” but “peruse the records.”
