As 2019 drew to a close, various organizations announced their word of the year. Oxford Dictionaries named “climate emergency.” Dictionaries.com named “existential.” Merriam Webster named “they.”
As this new year begins, our choice for word of the year just past is Trust. We select trust not because of its presence in 2019 but because of its absence.
