Welcome to Word Woman's Weekly Workout! Training your brain isn't just for students - education is meant to last a lifetime. So get ready to expand your vocabulary with another great word of the week:
Compassion fatigue: A temporarily indifferent or unsympathetic attitude toward others' suffering as a result of overexposure to charitable appeals. -- "The Oxford Dictionary of New Words", Sara Tulloch, ed., Oxford University Press, 1991
It is difficult to make it through the holiday season without developing a case of compassion fatigue from the multitude of causes placing demands on your spare change and time.
