Today’s “Word of the Day” is “inure to“ and it is a phrasal verb meaning “to adjust/adapt to something difficult or unpleasant; accustom, habituate, familiarize; (mostly law) to take effect, to be of use, benefit to an individual”.
Example Sentence: The professional historian today hesitates to cross the dangerous minefield that the past has become. Like the litter we encounter in our daily lives, we must become inured to far too much history lying around for use as missiles.
This word is present in The Hindu article Imaginative pasts, the uncertain futures of historians and click here to read it.
