Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Purpose" — noun, pronounced /ˈpɜːpəs/, with the stress on "pur".
Narrator: A purpose is the reason for which something is done or made, or what you intend to achieve.
Narrator: In plain English, it is why you do something.
Narrator: It comes from the old French porpos, from Latin proponere, to put forward.
Narrator: A common collocation is "on purpose", which describes doing something deliberately.

Narrator: In a second sense, "a sense of purpose" means feeling that your life is meaningful and determined.
Narrator: Business, psychology, law and education all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: purpose is the why behind the what.
