Word of the Week (Mrs MacKenzie)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benign<\/em><\/p>\n

Definition:<\/strong> 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<\/em> tumor”). Additional meanings include “mild and pleasant” (as in “benign<\/em> weather conditions”) and “showing kindness and gentleness” (as in “a benign<\/em>\u00a0outlook”).<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong> The project required that we manage some inconvenient but ultimately benign<\/em> conditions.<\/p>\n
