Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “lay something to rest” and its meaning is “to end something; bring something to a close; to stop someone from worrying about something, to stop someone from believing something (as true)”.
Example Sentence: The next time I visit the doctor, I will go sufficiently armed. I will carry a diary with my daily timetable. It will have all the details — 8 a.m. to 8.30 a.m.: deep breathing; 8.30 a.m. to 9 a.m.: meditation; 9 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.: long walk … My entire day will be spent entirely on stress-busters,… Perhaps, then, the discussion on stress can be laid to rest.
