When and where found: I heard this word at work yesterday when my boss told me I was very efficient.
What it means: According to my boss’ comment, it meant that I accomplish tasks in an appropriate or speedy timeframe and that I have something to show for my time. Merriam-Webster dictionary online states efficient means “productive of desired effects.”
Level of Familiarity: I would consider myself pretty familiar with this word because I continually strive to be as efficient as possible. To do so sometimes requires that I write lists so that I remember what needs to get done.
To know well or not: Yes, understanding this word would be helpful in almost any situation. Efficiency, especially in a capitalistic society is an important part of our daily experience. To be efficient is a main goal.
