Today’s “Word of the Day” is scramble and it is a noun meaning “(a keen/unrestrained) struggle, rush, hurry, race (to do something in order to achieve a goal/result); (hurried & uncontrolled) attempt, effort, free-for-all, competition, contest, contention, scuffle, tussle”.
Example Sentence: The desperate scramble for government jobs stems in no uncertain terms from the high job insecurity (easy hire and fire), poor basic pay, and long hours of work that characterise the bulk of jobs in the private sector.
