Today’s “Word of the Day” is “predilection“ and it is a noun meaning “(strong or special) liking, fondness, preference, penchant, predisposition, proclivity, inclination, leaning, bias/partiality“.
Example Sentence: The launch on Wednesday of a 10-point plan for net zero carbon emissions allowed Mr Johnson to indulge (fulfil) his predilection for hyperbole (overstatement/exaggeration). He wants Britain to be the “world’s number one centre for green technology and finance” and “the Saudi Arabia of wind”.
