I know that something modular allows you to swap something out for something else completely different without it affecting the entire system, but I’d like some examples to better familiarize yourself with the meaning. I’ll start out with some examples.
For instance, if I made a volume slider that allowed you to adjust the volume of each individual instrument in a song separately without it affecting the other instruments.

Pretext is like an excuse. If you ask your teacher to go to a bathroom during a test under the pretext of having a period, but you actually did it to cheat, you would call that a pretext.
Pretense is similar, but it’s more like an act. If you try to feign ignorance to something you don’t know but actually know, someone might tell you to drop the pretense. Pretense can also refer to a false claim. If you try to claim you entered the store simply to peruse the shelves, someone can call it a pretense and say you were intending to steal.

The only words I could were ecstatic and euphoric but none of the two fit what I wanted to the letter
I want to preface this by saying I'm not talking about the literal definition but figurative. Like what is the connective tissue of a show? Does it mean to have no plot threads or characters from a previous season return in this new season? Is the connective tissue of a video game like a sequel? I just want to better understand this word entails.
I know what praise means, and I know there are many different words that are just different levels of the same concept, but the more I research, the more I want to define in my own words these different axes of praise.
Venerate-Regard or treat someone with respect, awe, or reverence, often due to a person's status.(i.e. praising the leader of a clan)
Adulate-To praise excessively, sometimes far beyond what is reasonable or deserved. (i.e.how people treat pop star or any famous person when they meet them)
Laud-To me, it means to praise someone but it can also very much apply to non-sentient things.(i.e. a movie or book you've experienced)
Extol-It means to sing the graces of someone without them even being there or if you want sell something to someone, you're gonna want to do some good advertising.
Exalt-To put someone on a high pedastal. Your big brother, for example

Lend itself to-To me, this means is something already suited for a specific purpose or task
According to my research, it means to extract the most important parts of something, so I’m guessing it means to summarize something? Would streamline or boil down to be synonyms of distill? I don’t know, I’d like if someone could explain it to me
For me, while these trio of words hold the same general meaning, there are differences in how I would use them.
Skirt-to avoid out of fear or responsibility, like refusing to answer a question.
Shirk-to avoid an obligation or duty, like turning down a challenge to a fight
Shrink from-this kinda goes hand in hand with shirk to me, although I would use this when talking about responsibility, like someone shrinking from accountability.
Idk, I’d like to hear your guys’ thoughts
