Today’s “Word of the Day” is “dissuade” and it is a noun meaning “discourage, deter, prevent, divert, stop, scare off, warn off, caution against (someone not to do a specific plan of action)”.
Example Sentence: Ukraine is not only fighting a brave military battle to defend its sovereignty (authority within territory) but is also using all possible levers under international law against Russia. It has moved international courts such as the ICJ, the International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights to put Russia in the dock. But nothing seems to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin’s revisionist (dissenting) and imperial (arrogant) designs (plans).
