Today’s “Word of the Day” is “conform“ and it is a noun meaning “comply with, abide by, adhere to, stand by, stick to, follow, obey, observe”.
Example Sentence: Evidence from Japan suggests that high per capita income does not guarantee gender equality as the latter is usually rooted in social and cultural norms. Japanese society is founded on, and still conforms to, very strong gender norms of what men and women should do. It is still common to refer to one’s wife as kanai, translated as the one inside the house. An office worker in Japan is often referred to as salaryman — again, a gendered term.
