Today’s “Word of the Day” is “ammunition” and it is a noun meaning “points, considerations, pointers, material, information, evidence, testimony, facts, data, input (that can be used in support of one’s situation in an argument/debate).
Example Sentence: Developed countries have historically (regularly) opposed India’s Public Stockholding (PSH) programme as they apprehend (perceive) that India might divert some of its public stock to the international market, thus depressing global prices. While this argument should be taken with a pinch of salt, India actively pushing for exporting food from its official granaries (storehouses) gives fresh ammunition to the naysayers (people who oppose something) to stick to their guns (continue/be persistent) in opposing a permanent solution to the PSH issue.
