prospect
A prospect is the possibility that something fabulous will happen. After you graduate top of your class at Harvard, for example, your job prospectslook great.
Prospect is from the Latin word prospectus which means a "view or outlook." A prospect is still a way of looking ahead and expecting good things. It's like potential in that it's something that might be but isn't yet. There is also the potential for something bad to happen, butprospects usually look good. In the 1800s, when men in floppy brown hats started saying "There's gold in them there hills!" the noun became a verb — to prospect is to search for gold. Either way, when you have prospects, you have a golden future.

様態のas

vocabulary.comからの引用
As is an adverb that's usually used to compare one thing to another. You could say, for example, that your cat isas smart as your sister.
When you're noting similarities between two things or people, especially when you talk about degree or amount, you'll find yourself using the common adverb as. You might complain that it's as hot as heck, or express disappointment that your homemade casserole doesn't taste as good as when your mom makes it. As comes from the Old English alswā, "similarly."

relentless:徹底的な、絶え間ない、残虐な、容赦ない(ある目標に向けて忍耐強く執着するイメージ)
strict, cruel, or determined, without ever stopping
〜pursuit, attack, bombing, criticism, approach, assault
「vocabulary.comからの引用」
Relentless is a good word for describing something that's harsh, unforgiving, and persistent, like the hot sun in the desert, or a cold that keeps you in bed for days with a nose like a strawberry.
When you're relentless about something, you mean business. You're not stopping until you get what you want, and you're not taking "no" for an answer. People might try to steer you from your goal, but you have eyes only for the prize and they're just going to have to get out of your way. If you're a relentless student, for instance, you might stay up all night studying your vocabulary, just in case there might be a quiz in the morning.

【vocabulary.comからの引用】
The word calibrate means making precise measurement. For example, you might want to calibrate your bathroom scale now and then to be sure it’s adjusted for exact weight. Orcalibrate it to read five pounds light. We won't tell.
To find the origin of calibrate, we must look at its root,caliber, which appeared in the late 15th Century Middle French as calibre, meaning "a degree of importance." Linguists trace that word to an Arabic beginning, the word qalib, which referred to a mold for making bullets. That meaning seems to have carried over to our word, the verb calibrate, which first meant to measure the range of a projectile such as a bullet or shell.
