Today’s “Word of the Day” is commensurate and it is an adjective meaning “equivalent, equal, corresponding, correspondent, comparable, proportionate, proportional; appropriate, relative”.
Example Sentence: Increasing the age of marriage without a commensurate improvement in women’s education is least likely to yield better health and nutritional outcomes. Instead, it might adversely impact the poor and illiterate. The fact that about one-fourth of women (18-29 years) in India have married before 18 years despite the law tells us that legally increasing the age of marriage may not fully prevent child marriages. By contrast, much of the benefits can be reaped by ensuring that women complete education at least up to 12 years.
