A "two dollar word" refers to a more complex or sophisticated term that conveys an idea more eloquently than simpler, everyday language. It often implies that the word is less commonly used, making it stand out in conversation or writing. The phrase suggests that using such a word might elevate the speaker's or writer's perceived intelligence or eloquence. Examples include using "ameliorate" instead of "improve" or "utilize" rather than "use."
