Word of the Day: Arbitrary #vocabulary #vocabularylearning

Hi friends!

Our word for today is

arbitrary
[ ahr-bi-trer-ee ]

US /ˈɑːr.bə.trer.i/ UK /ˈɑː.bɪ.trər.i/

Arbitrary means that something is

• decided or arranged randomly without any reason or plan

It means that something is
• not based on any principle or system but is only based on someone's preference and therefore seems unfair.

If something is arbitrary, it is
• not fixed by rules, but left to a person's judgment, desire, or random choice, again usually suggesting unreasonable or unpredictable results

Here are sentence examples:

Clear and rational guidelines will prevent managers from making arbitrary decisions.

The shelf behind him was filled with pictures and souvenirs arbitrarily arranged side by side.
