I got a LINE message from Chris this evening. She asked me what I'm going to wear to my son's wedding. In her message, I learend a new word chignon. In fact, I correctly guessed the meaning from the context: "Something very Chinese, with your hair in a chignon?" Something very Chinese refers to chipao, and the image of a lady in a chipao immediately explained the meaning of the word "chignon."
This is why reading helps expand one's vocabulary.
