Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Cambridge Dictionary’s word of the year 2024 is all about thinking positive
The word of the year refers to the most important word or expression in the public sphere during the year. Various organizations announce their Word of the Year, including Collins English Dictionary, Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster, Oxford University Press, and Cambridge Dictionary. Cambridge has been published one every year since 2015, including “austerity” in 2015, “populism” in 2017, and “quarantine” in 2020. This year, the university press chose “manifest” as the world of the year. According to the dictionary, the verb “manifest” means to show something clearly through signs or actions. For example, workers manifest their complaints in a strike, or, the illness manifested itself in severe pain. Its synonyms are demonstrate, reveal, or show. Manifest also refers to the practice of clarifying the goal in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen. Some people who succeeded in realizing their dreams attest to the effect of manifesting. The new president-elect might have had one since he lost his election in 2020.
Read the article and learn what “manifest” means to some people.
