NEW YORK — Merriam-Webster defines gaslighting as"the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage."
The word has been used in a wide range of contexts from the Jan. 6 committee hearings to reality TV drama on"On the subject of gaslighting, we do hope you'll trust us," Sokolowski said.Merriam-Webster shared other standout words that shed light on experiences that shaped this year. "Omicron" spiked in searches in January when cases of the COVID-19 variant, which was named for the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet, surged. According to Merriam-Webster, it saw another increase in lookups in November when"studies found that the omicron booster was not significantly more effective than the older vaccines."
