Today’s “Word of the Day” is leapfrog and it is a verb meaning “jump over; improve, advance quickly (to a high-level job/position from a low-level job/position by surpassing/outperforming others or skipping over some stages in the process); pass over, get past (an obstacle)”.
Example Sentence: Some authorities have moved to ease lockdowns and help the troubled economy, despite experts recommending they remain on guard for a resurgence of the COVID-19 disease. “Don’t start leapfrogging over (skipping over) the recommendations of some of the guidelines because that’s really tempting fate (doing something risky/dangerous) and asking for trouble,” Anthony Fauci, a top U.S. health advisers, told CNN.
