hope this help!

1. Associate each word with an object you already know about. Picture a place you know well like your room, or the inside of your car, and picture each thing in your room and when you think about it associate it with one of the words. You’ll then be able to recall the words by recalling the scene. It sounds silly but professional recallers (yes, they exist) swear by this method – called the Method of Loci.
2. Make a song about the words – if you’ve ever memorized the fifty states by singing that song (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona Arkansas) you’ll know how this works.
3. Make up a story using each word in order.
Just a few ideas…HTH
Also…it’s always better if you rephrase a definiton in your own words…you are much more likely to recall something that you came up with, rather than something that you memorized right out of Websters. So…rephrase it without changing the meaning of the word, and I think you will find it much easier.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
Good luck

I got a group of teenagers to remember “confabulate” by making it sound like you might be interested in sex. For example “Hi. Would you like to confabulate with me?” said in a bar room pickup tone.
You get the picture.
Good luck in your quest.
