Today’s “Word of the Day” is pent-up and it is an adjective meaning “suppressed, confined, held back, not expressed (emotions/feelings)“. 

Example Sentence: The next few weeks are critical to tamping down (reduce) a disturbing COVID-19 surge, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told the U.S. Congress on Tuesday — issuing a plea for people to avoid crowds and wear masks. Dr. Fauci told lawmakers he understands the pent-up desire to get back to normal as the U.S. begins emerging from months of stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns. But that has “to be a gradual step-by-step process and not throwing caution to the wind”, he said.
