Today’s “Word of the Day” is “commensurate“ and it is an adjective meaning “appropriate to, corresponding to, in accordance with, in proportion with; equivalent, equal, matching, comparable, proportionate”.
Example Sentence: Populist politics has ensured that the price that many consumers pay for power is not commensurate with the production costs. In FY19, for instance, the revenues of distribution companies covered only about 70% of their total costs. This has discouraged private investment in power generation and distribution even as the demand for power continues to rise each year.
