Today’s “Word of the Day” is clarion call and it is a noun meaning “a strong and clear request/demand/appeal/message for something (an action) to be done”.
Example Sentence: Nationalism is a fine guiding spirit of progress, but seldom proves accommodative enough to denounce (criticize) the diverse legacies of colonialism. They evolved regionally in different time frames, creating complex contours of public perception. When a clarion call is made to overcome the ‘colonial mindset’, it seems inspired by colonialism itself.
