Today’s “Word of the Day” is “trade-off” and it is a noun meaning “a situation in which you must choose between/balance two things that are opposite (as they cannot be had at the same time); compromise, agreement, middle/common ground, exchange, swap”.
Example Sentence: With COVID-19 and schools, the trade-off is between the long-term consequences of disruptions in learning and socialisation in children and the short-term possibility of their contracting an infection. Finding the right balance between these two factors is crucial.
This word is present in The Hindu article The prognosis for school reopenings and click here to read it.
