Masterful can mean ‘domineering,’ but it also means 'very skillful, masterly.' Note, however, that masterful used in this 'masterly' sense generally describes a person (•he has limited talent, but he's masterful at exploiting it), while masterly usually describes an achievement or action (•that was a masterly response to our opponents’ arguments).These notes clear up confusion between similar-looking pairs. |
