act of refusing to accept something
When a person or group says no to an offer, request, idea, or application.
รูปแบบการใช้:
the rejection of [something] by [someone]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes say *rejection to* instead of *rejection of*. Say, "the rejection of my application," not "the rejection to my application." Also, use an article when counting: "I got a rejection," or "I got three rejections," not "I got three rejection."
คำพ้องความหมาย

คำตรงข้าม
acceptance (Indicates that something offered, requested, or proposed is agreed to or approved, instead of being refused.)

feeling of not being wanted
A bad feeling you have when other people do not want you or do not accept you.
รูปแบบการใช้:
fear of rejection by [someone]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse this emotional sense with a single concrete event like a rejected application. In phrases like "fear of rejection" or "years of rejection," the word usually refers to the ongoing emotional experience, not one specific letter or decision.
คำพ้องความหมาย
exclusion (Focuses more on being left out of a group or activity; 'rejection' highlights the emotional impact of not being wanted.)
คำตรงข้าม
acceptance (Being welcomed and valued by others, which is the opposite emotional experience of rejection.)

immune attack on transplanted organ
When a person’s body fights and may destroy a new organ, like a new kidney or heart, that was put in during a transplant.
รูปแบบการใช้:
rejection of the transplanted [organ]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may think 'rejection' here is a simple yes/no decision by doctors, but it refers to the body’s immune reaction, not a choice by people.
คำพ้องความหมาย
graft rejection (More technical medical term; refers specifically to rejection of a transplanted organ or tissue graft.)
คำตรงข้าม
tolerance (In transplant medicine, describes the body’s acceptance of a transplanted organ without attacking it.)

blocking or reducing unwanted signals
In electronics, how well a device stops or cuts out noise or other signals that are not wanted.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[adjective] rejection of [noise/interference]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse 'rejection' here with a personal or emotional refusal. In technical phrases like 'noise rejection' or 'common‑mode rejection,' it describes a device’s performance, not a human decision.
คำพ้องความหมาย
suppression (General technical term for reducing something; 'rejection' is more specific to blocking unwanted signals or noise.)
คำตรงข้าม
susceptibility (Describes how easily a device is affected by unwanted signals, the opposite of strong rejection.)
