Today’s “Word of the Day” is “trade-off” and it is a noun meaning “a situation in which you must choose between/balance two things that are opposite (as they cannot be had at the same time); compromise, agreement, middle/common ground, exchange, swap”.
Example Sentence: With COVID-19 and schools, the trade-off is between the long-term consequences of disruptions in learning and socialisation in children and the short-term possibility of their contracting an infection. Finding the right balance between these two factors is crucial.
