Today’s “Word of the Day” is “diffidence” and it is a noun meaning “self-doubt, apprehension, uncertainty, hesitancy, nervousness, insecurity, uneasiness”.
Example Sentence: This time it has been different. He (Virat Kohli) has got out even as he has looked to be getting into his stride. Then, with a rare combination of diffidence and brashness (self-confidence/boldness), he would play away from his body and edge the ball. The self-doubt was of a man who has not made an international century in two and a half years, the assurance of one who has hit 70 of them around the world.
