effective
effective adjective 1 an effective treatment: successful, effectual, potent, powerful; helpful, beneficial, advantageous, valuable, useful; formal efficacious. ANTONYMS ineffective, weak. 2 a more effective argument: convincing, compelling, strong, forceful, potent, weighty, sound, valid; impressive, persuasive, plausible, credible, authoritative; logical, reasonable, lucid, coherent, cogent, eloquent; formal efficacious. ANTONYMS weak. 3 the new law will become effective next week: operative, in force, in effect; valid, official, lawful, legal, binding; Law effectual. ANTONYMS invalid. 4 the region did not come under effective Dutch control until 1904: virtual, practical, essential, actual, implicit, tacit. ANTONYMS theoretical. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD effective, effectual, efficacious, efficient All of these adjectives mean producing or capable of producing a result, but they are not interchangeable. Use effective when you want to describe something that produces a definite effect or result (an effective speaker who was able to rally the crowd's support ) and efficacious when it produces the desired effect or result (an efficacious remedy that cured her almost immediately ). If something produces the desired effect or result in a decisive manner, use effectual (an effectual recommendation that got him the job ), an adjective that is often employed when looking back after an event is over (an effectual strategy that finally turned the tide in their favor ). Reserve the use of efficient for when you want to imply skill and economy of energy in producing the desired result (so efficient in her management of the company that layoffs were not necessary ). When applied to people, efficient means capable or competent (an efficient homemaker ) and places less emphasis on the achievement of results and more on the skills involved. These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.

ANTONYMS ineffective; incompetent; weak. 2 a more effective argument can be constructed in support of the opposite point of view: convincing, compelling, strong, forceful, forcible, powerful, potent, weighty, plausible, efficacious, sound, valid, well founded, telling; impressive, persuasive, irresistible, credible, influential, conclusive, unanswerable, authoritative; logical, reasoned, reasonable, well reasoned, rational, lucid, coherent, cogent, eloquent, clear, articulate.

Amer. informal turn the trick. ANTONYMS fail; have no effect. EASILY CONFUSED WORDS effective or efficient? Both these words express approval of the way in which someone or something works; but their meanings are different. Effective describes something which successfully produces an intended result, without reference to morality, economy of effort, or efficient use of resources (the drug is more effective in treating ulcers than its predecessors | the trap was hideously unpleasant and equally hideously effective ). Efficient, on the other hand, applies to someone or something able to produce results with the minimum expense or effort, as a result of good organization or good design and making the best use of available resources (staff offer efficient and unobtrusive service ).These notes clear up confusion between similar-looking pairs.
