1
to justify or make reasonable
To be a good enough reason for something to happen or be done.
사용 패턴：
[something] warrants [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse 'warrant' with 'guarantee' in this sense. 'Warrant' here means 'justify' or 'be a good reason for', not 'promise' that something will happen.
유의어

|
merit (Suggests that something deserves a particular reaction or treatment, often slightly more formal.)
반의어

sufficient reason or justification
A strong enough reason that makes an action or belief acceptable.
사용 패턴：
[something] is (no) warrant for [something]
자주 하는 실수：
This formal sense is often confused with the more common legal-document meaning. Here, 'warrant' is abstract and usually appears in phrases like 'no warrant for' or 'little warrant for', meaning 'no good reason'.
유의어
justification (Very close in meaning; a standard formal word for a reason that makes something acceptable.)
반의어
grounds (Often used in negative form 'no grounds for'; here it functions as an opposite idea when combined with 'no', meaning lack of reason.)

security giving right to buy shares
A special paper or electronic right that lets a person buy company shares at a set price before a certain date.
사용 패턴：
[someone] exercises a warrant
자주 하는 실수：
Learners may confuse 'warrant' with 'warranty'. In finance, a 'warrant' is a right to buy shares; it is not a promise to fix or replace a product.
유의어
option (A broader category of right-to-buy instruments; a warrant is a specific kind, usually issued by the company itself.)
반의어
share (Not a strict logical opposite, but a basic asset rather than a right to buy an asset; often contrasted in explanations.)
