INURE Meaning and Definition

  1. Inure is a verb that refers to the process of becoming accustomed to or hardened against something, typically through repeated exposure or experience. It can also mean to adapt or adjust oneself to a particular situation or environment.

    The word originates from the Latin word "inurare," meaning "to harden" or "to enable" and can be traced back to the Old French term "enurir." Inure often conveys a sense of becoming accustomed to adverse or challenging conditions, toughening oneself emotionally, mentally, or physically in order to withstand or tolerate them.

    To be inured to something implies that one has developed a degree of immunity or resistance to its impact. For instance, soldiers may become inured to the horrors of war after long periods of combat exposure. Similarly, individuals in stressful or demanding professions may become inured to the pressures of their jobs over time.

    In a broader sense, inure can also describe the process of becoming habituated or desensitized to everyday occurrences or stimuli. For example, individuals living in noisy city environments can become inured to the constant sounds of traffic. Likewise, individuals working in high-stress jobs may become inured to the pressures, gradually feeling less affected by the demands of their work.

    Overall, inure suggests a process or state of becoming accustomed, toughened, or desensitized to certain circumstances, be they positive or negative, through repeated exposure or experience.

  2. To accustom to by exposure or practice; to habituate.
