I want to post more often, so I plan to scan CE topics to find an interesting word. Selection of the word of the day is sometimes limited, so mention me with @chaoyun2k if you see a word on CE that might make a good word for the word of the day.
If you want to post in this topic, try to use the word of the day in a sentence.

Today's word is relegated.
As defined by Merriam-Webster:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/relegated

Did You Know?
Originally relegate meant "to send into exile, banish". So when you relegate an old sofa to the basement, you're sending it to home-decorating Siberia. When confronted with a matter that no one really wants to face, a chief executive may relegate it to a committee "for further study", which may manage to ignore it for years. It may be annoying to read a newspaper article about a pet project and find that your own contributions have been relegated to a short sentence near the end.
