Today’s “Word of the Day” is “parlance” and it is a noun meaning “a type of language that people in a particular profession use when they talk/speak; a way of speaking (using words) by a particular group of people; jargon, manner of speaking, language, vocabulary, vernacular, terminology, slang, localism”.
Example Sentence: But does this mean that India has a severe capacity constraint in engineering and technological higher education?… There is, thus, neither a scarcity (shortage) of seats nor capacity constraints. The nation is, in fact, staring at a dearth (shortage) of institutions offering quality engineering education at an affordable cost. In business parlance, that is the ability to deliver value for money.
This word is present in The Hindu article The lack of quality engineering education and click here to read it.
