Today’s “Word of the Day” is tone-deaf and it is an adjective meaning “insensitive to the concerns or difficulties of others; unable to understand matters concerning others’ sentiment/opinion; having a lack of perception, having a lack of understanding”.
Example Sentence: On nutritional planning, the renewed plan should introduce a greater diversity of diets that compensates for micronutrient and protein deficiency. Strong supplementation of nutrition at school, in the community, and at childcare centres is critical at a time when criticism of food inflation has met with a tone-deaf response, and pandemic-induced income declines have depressed essential consumption.
This word is present in The Hindu article Failing on food: on child malnutrition and mid-day meals and click here to read it.
