What’s the point of learning the whole dictionary?
Those words you quoted are of no particular use.
As an experienced english learner I advise you that you learn how to deal with more simple words.
I think there is no need to learn the whole dictionary. Even if you have a great wish you can’t do it. In order to learn new English words just read the dictionary and choose those words you use in your everyday life. You can write a post telling us about the words you have chosen and we’ll make up sentences with them.
MM= Don’t say that I am taking the bloom off the rose–but when you write a word, please also write “a” with it if it is an active part of your vocabulary.
. Abacus: A calculating frame, especially one with sliding balls on wires.
Abaci have for the most part been replaced by electronic calculators, but in Japan (where they are called ‘soroban’) they are still learned by some elementary school children.
I doubt that abacterial is likely to be used this way. I would expect it to be used (especially by medical experts) to describe an ailment which is not caused by or has no significant presence of bacteria.
antibacterial ([color=red]a) destructive to or inhibiting the growth of bacteria
Nowadays, most liquid soaps are advertised as being antibacterial. It takes about two minutes for the antibacterial components to do their job. Unfortunately, when people wash their hands, they usually wash the soap off sooner than that.

. abate v.t. To bring down or reduce from a higher to a lower state,
number, or degree; to lessen; to diminish; to contract; to
moderate; to cut short; as, to abate a demand; to abate
pride, zeal, hope.

[i]Well this way could not be denied. The problem is this how much times the man planed to spend to finish it, and also, when he finished the last words, how can he guarantee that he still keep the first one in mind? I think he would better consider those details before to start.
Tomorrow there will be a test on the meanings of words found in an English dictionary. The scope of the test will be abbreviated, however, and will cover only those words also appearing in this thread.
