The market hour I trust most is 5am. By 6, the air has been moved, the displays composed, the prices adjusted upward by the small margin that announces a tourist. At 5, the market has not yet decided what to show. The vendor is restocking. The light is grey. The first customer is another vendor, […]

The man next to me had ordered something orange. I pointed at it. The chef — a man in his sixties with the hands of someone who had been slicing fish since before I was born — looked at me, then at the man, then at me again, and nodded once. It was 5:47am at […]

Around seven, the air changes.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 18, 2026 is:
acquiesce \ak-wee-ESS\ verb
To acquiesce to something is to accept it, agree with it, or allow it to happen by staying silent or by not arguing. Acquiesce is somewhat formal, and is often used with in or to.
// Eventually, the professor acquiesced to the students’ request to have the seminar’s final class be a potluck lunch.
“It may be just the right time for a chicken burger to become a significant stop on the American burger’s continual evolution—but whether beef-clinging purists will acquiesce to a poultry spin, or cry fowl, remains to be seen.” — Talib Visram, Slate, 6 Apr. 2026
Did you know?
If you’re looking to give your speech a gentle, formal flair, don’t give acquiesce the silent treatment. Essentially meaning “to comply quietly,” acquiesce has as its ultimate source the Latin verb quiēscere, “to be quiet.” (Quiet itself is also a close relation.) Quiēscere can also mean “to repose,” “to fall asleep,” or “to rest,” and when acquiesce arrived in English via French in the early 1600s, it did so with two senses: the familiar “to agree or comply” and the now-obsolete “to rest satisfied.” Herman Melville employed the former in Moby-Dick, when Ahab orders the “confounded” crew to change the Pequod’s course after a storm damages the compasses: “Meanwhile, whatever were his own secret thoughts, Starbuck said nothing, but quietly he issued all requisite orders; while Stubb and Flask—who in some small degree seemed then to be sharing his feelings—likewise unmurmuringly acquiesced.”
