critique

/krɪˈtiːk/

nounverbcri · tique

Think: “CRITIC + QUEUE” — a critique is what a critic gives, and it ends with the French-looking “-tique.”

Yes, it's critique. The tricky part is the ending: it’s **-tique** (like *boutique*), not *-tick* or *-teek*.

Definitions

  1. nounA careful judgment or evaluation of something, especially pointing out both strengths and weaknesses.
  2. verbTo evaluate something carefully and give an opinion about it, often including suggestions for improvement.

  • “The teacher wrote a detailed critique of my essay and suggested clearer transitions.”
