Today’s “Word of the Day” is “parlance” and it is a noun meaning “the type of language that people in a particular profession use when they talk/speak; the way of speaking (using words) by a particular group of people; jargon, manner of speaking, vocabulary, vernacular, terminology, slang, localism”.
Example Sentence: The seasonally adjusted India Services Business Activity Index rose from 45.4 in July to 56.7 in August, as the reopening of several establishments and increased consumer footfall boosted sales. The services sector witnessed the first expansion in output in four months and a rebound in business confidence. In Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below 50 denotes contraction.
