To remember a word, it helps to use it in a sentence. The more uses you can find for it, the more likely you will be able to recall its meaning and obtain the maximum value for the word. Let's try some sentences for the above:
"He had great potential as student, but his lassitude kept him from being a hard worker."
"The best raconteur among modern presidents was Ronald Reagan, because he would tell a story that kept the listener's attention and made an important political point."
"Unlike paintings, music is an evanescent form of art."
