The word which represents original diction is LAPUNTAH.
An original diction refers to a word that its primary meaning can only be obtained from the language from which it is derived. An original diction may be mistaken for a different meaning if one is not familiar with the language from which it is derived. This is what happen to Gulliver in the passage given above.

Why are transitions important in a speech?
cupoosta [38]
Read this!! :)
<span>Careful transitions are an important part of preparation. Most speakers have problems with using "um," "and," "and uh," and "you know" or some similar nonsensical utterance as they falter toward their next point. This is primarily because they don't have a smooth manner of getting to their next point. That's why transitions are so important. A transition is a bridge from Point A to Point B—a connection between two points. If you learn to use specific transitions, you will improve the fluency of your speech as well as avoiding the verbalized pauses and unnecessary words. Good transitions demonstrate a command of language, thus enhancing your credibility.</span>
