CONCLUSION
Therefore I can use the word 'superseded' as a substitute word for 'succeeded.'
In using this system, you will learn two words at a time, both having the same or a similar meaning. Therefore, in the above example, you will l earn 'Superceded' / 'Suceeded.' The forward slash can be interpreted as meaning (in the sense of) therefore you are learning the word 'Superceded' in the sense of 'succession' or 'succeeded' in that sense. This is important in the English Language, for in this example the word 'succeeded' can also mean - to be successful, which has a completely different meaning altogether. These 'extras' can be regarded as mini lessons, which a diligent student of the English Language, would go away and pursue further. These mini lessons can be found in Chapter x 'Mini Lessons' (pages xx for the word 'Superseded' / 'Succeeded.)
