Today’s “Word of the Day” is “gainsay” and it is a verb meaning “deny, dispute, disagree with, argue with, contradict, repudiate, challenge, oppose (a fact/truth)”.
Example Sentence: Quite often, delays occur in providing certain prosecution documents to the charged official who may demand them for preparing his own defence. There can be no gainsaying that such delays occur in all ministries and departments. While in the case of non-gazetted ranks, the enquiries are completed within a matter of few months, there can be no reason for undue delay in the case of officers.
