Word of the Week (Mrs MacKenzie)
Benign
Definition: Benign describes something that does not cause harm or damage. In medical contexts it is used to describe something that does not threaten life or health (as in “a benign tumor”). Additional meanings include “mild and pleasant” (as in “benign weather conditions”) and “showing kindness and gentleness” (as in “a benign outlook”).
Example: The project required that we manage some inconvenient but ultimately benign conditions.
