Word Woman


Welcome to another exciting episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! It's time to give your mind a little exercise by expanding your vocabulary, so get ready to stretch your neurons with the Word of the Week:

Inculcate: [verb] to teach via repetition -- "Word Traps", Jordan L. Linfield & Joseph Krevisky, Innovation Press, New York, 1993.

Example: Having been inculcated from birth by his father the science teacher with the Periodic Table of Elements, it came as no surprise when Stewart elected to major in chemistry in college.
