Merriam-Webster's word of the year is 'gaslighting.'🥴 Gaslighting is usually more complex than an off-the-cuff lie and more nefarious, too: Gaslighting someone into believing they're wrong is often part of a 'larger plan,' said Merriam-Webster.
"Gaslighting" defined as "the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage" is Merriam-Webster's word of the year.Merriam-Webster's word of the year -- and this you can believe -- is "gaslighting."
Gaslighting is usually more complex than an off-the-cuff lie and more nefarious, too: Gaslighting someone into believing they're wrong is often part of a "larger plan," said Merriam-Webster. Both the play and film were wildly popular, with a renamed version of the play running for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway, and the 1944 film earning a best picture nomination and an Oscar for Ingrid Bergman. Partly due to the film's popularity, the noun "gaslight" became a verb, too.
It's also a legitimate and "extremely effective form of emotional abuse," according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which has resources for survivors on recognizing gaslighting. The New York Times also this year wrote about "medical gaslighting," when patients, especially women and people of color, are dismissed by physicians who downplay the severity of their symptoms.
