Today’s “Word of the Day” is undercut and it is a verb meaning “undermine, weaken, impair, damage, threaten, subvert, sabotage, ruin, disrupt, destabilize, demolish, wreck, destroy”.
Example Sentence: In health care, which is characterised by perennially (permanently) scarce resources and a surfeit (excess/too much) of challenges, everything revolves around identifying the priorities right. And no amount of political or geopolitical expediency (advantage/gain) or cultural chauvinism (bias/discrimination) should be allowed to undercut national health interests. It is time to go all out to address national health-care workforce challenges and heal the nation before embarking on a healing cruise of the world.
