1

claim to feel or believe something

to say that you feel, believe, or are something, especially when other people may not believe you

รูปแบบการใช้: [someone] professes [feeling/belief/quality]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often confuse 'profess' with 'confess'. 'Profess' means to claim or say that you have a feeling, belief, or quality (often with a suggestion it may not be true). 'Confess' means to admit that you did something wrong or bad. You confess a crime, but you profess your innocence.
คำพ้องความหมาย
claim (more general and common; does not by itself suggest possible insincerity the way 'profess' often does in modern use) | pretend (stronger idea of being false or fake; 'profess' can suggest doubt without clearly saying it is a lie) | assert (focuses on stating something firmly; less about inner feelings than 'profess')
คำตรงข้าม
deny (to say you do not have a feeling or belief, which is the opposite of claiming that you do) | conceal (to hide a feeling or belief instead of openly claiming it, the opposite of professing it)

2

openly declare a faith or belief

to say in public that you follow a religion or strongly believe an idea or set of rules

รูปแบบการใช้: [someone] professes [religion/belief/principle]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use 'say' instead of 'profess' in formal writing. 'Say' is fine in speech, but in written or formal contexts about beliefs or religions, 'profess' or 'declare' is usually more natural.
คำพ้องความหมาย
declare (more general; does not always suggest a long-term commitment or identity the way 'profess' often does) | avow (formal and slightly literary; similar idea of openly stating a belief or principle)
คำตรงข้าม
renounce (to publicly say you no longer hold a belief or follow a religion, the opposite of professing it) | disavow (to deny any connection with a belief or principle, contrasting with openly claiming it)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
profess Christianity |profess a faith |profess a belief |profess democracy |profess liberal values
หัวข้อ
religion |politics |society |communication

3

teach a subject at university

to teach a subject at a university as your job (formal and not common)

รูปแบบการใช้: [someone] professes [subject] at [institution]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Modern English normally uses 'teach' or 'teach at a university' instead of 'profess' in this sense. Using 'profess' this way can sound old-fashioned or overly formal.
คำพ้องความหมาย
teach (more general and common; does not carry the formal, university-specific tone of 'profess') | lecture in (specific to university teaching; focuses on giving lectures rather than holding a professorial position)
คำตรงข้าม
study (students study a subject, while professors profess or teach it)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน
profess law |profess philosophy |profess theology |profess at the university
หัวข้อ
education |work
ตัวอย่าง
  • She professes medieval history at a small European university.
  • He has professed physics at Oxford for more than twenty years.
