Today’s “Word of the Day” is imprimatur and it is a noun meaning “(official) approval, agreement, permission, consent, assent, confirmation, endorsement, sanction”.
Example Sentence: The business weekly Forbes’s choice was a little more surprising: naming Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, “the world’s most powerful woman”. Von der Leyen oversees the commission like a military operation... In policy terms, she runs a tight ship, keeping everything close to her chest (including Brexit talks), often leaving other commissioners in the dark. This does not make her popular among staff. Employees complain they are chronically overworked. Vacancies stay open for months because appointments have not had VDL’s imprimatur.
