Today’s “Word of the Day” is “threadbare“ and it is an adjective meaning “(of an idea, argument, excuse, etc.) used frequently with no effect/use; hackneyed, stereotyped, clichéd, overused, overworked, run-of-the-mill, routine”.
Example Sentence: The court asked the SEBI to submit a note by Monday (13th Feb, 2023) detailing the legal and factual aspects of the existing regulatory framework for the securities market. The market regulator could also give a “threadbare analysis” of its powers and even suggest whether it needed to grow more teeth to deal with the “new world” of seamless capital movement… The court made it clear that it did not want to encroach into the policy domain. It would tread carefully, keeping a wary eye against causing any upsets in the stock market.
