Based on the prefix, de-, the word "decongestant" means:

  • Removal
<h3 /><h3>What is a prefix?</h3>

A prefix is an attachment to the main word and the intent is often to give the reader a clue into its meaning.

In the word above, decongestant means removal or a reduction of the congestion that a person experiences. The prefix is aimed at giving the reader an idea or insight into the main meaning of the word.

There are other types of prefixes. Some of them include a-, un-, pre-, auto-, co-, etc. When you see such words you can tell the meaning of the entire word. So, in the instance above, de- suggests the removal of congestion.

This is a very personal question. Therefore, no one can answer it except for you. However, I can provide an example of something that makes me excited about learning, and this can serve as a guide for your own answer.

One experience that makes me genuinely excited about learning is hearing about other people's success stories. For example, when authors, scientists, astronauts and other talented and knowledgeable people talk about their careers, I am often inspired by their stories. Most of the time, these stories relate to their knowledge, and the importance of knowledge in encouraging personal growth. This makes me genuinely excited about learning because it encourages me to think that I too can achieve the things these people have achieved.

When Ozymandias ordered the words to be inscribed on the statue, what did he mean by "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"?
slamgirl [31]
Ozymandias thought so highly of himself that he had this statue built with that inscription to intimidate anyone who might come near it. He meant for it to be a warning to not try and invade or attack, the despair part is meant to be the person despairing because they could never be as great as Ozymandias. 
The meaning is twisted though, as the statue crumbles with time showing that all leaders -- especially those who value themselves so highly--will fall.
