This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
indoctrinate
Pronounced: (in-DOCK-trin-ate)
Verb:
teach doctrines to; teach uncritically
From Vocabulary.com: ”If you indoctrinate someone, the goal is to have that person follow a particular set of beliefs (or a doctrine), rather than being able to think independently or know right from wrong.”
Example:
“If you tell clients ‘now is a great time to buy or sell a home’ heedless of true market conditions, you risk sounding as though you’ve been indoctrinated into a real estate cult.”
