What is the benefit of such an approach?

The benefit of such an approach is: you get to learn group of words with the help of a single meaning. In
the language of sets, for one meaning entered into the storage area of your brain, you learn multiple words.
This can be labeled as effective usage of memory and that is what we require, dont we? Also, the
multiplicity of learning carries the bigger benefit of rapidly escalating your learning speed. You can learn a
vast number of words in a very quick time.
