tantamount

Tantamount

Adjective

Dictionary - tan – t@ – maunt

Mine - tan – tuh – mount


Dictionary – equivalent in value, significance, or effect

SAT – equal; comparable

Mine – equal in all aspects such as value


Synonym – same, alike, equal

Mnemonic –The tantamount was the same

This works because the word “amount” is in the word tantamount and the amount of something that is tantamount is equal or the same in value. It will help you remember the definition that way.
