Inure (transitive verb) – To get used to something undesirable by being subjected to it over a long period of time (from Middle English enewren, Old French and Latin)
Word in a Sentence: In my novel Choices Meant for Gods, the young Nigel Taiman is so inured to his father’s neglect and foul temper that he thinks it’s normal for fathers to ignore and berate their children until he meets his friend Henry and Mister Bakerson.
Your turn! How can you use inure in a sentence?
“Some days, you just want the dragon to win.”
