Today’s “Word of the Day” is acrimonious and it is a adjective meaning “angry, bitter, harsh, sharp, cutting, spiteful, vicious, nasty, poisonous, venomous, hate-filled, ill-natured (in language or tone while arguing)”.
Example Sentence: The opening of the new Parliament building on May 28 could have been an occasion for reconciliation in India’s fractured political-scape, but that is not how it turned out. Opposition parties boycotted the inauguration, and the government and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not think they needed to do something about it. The installation of a sengol or golden sceptre gifted to the first Prime Minister of India by a Saivite sect of Tamil Nadu (TN) at the new Parliament building, triggered an acrimonious debate.
