☆  acquiesce   黙従する

============================

This is a formal word, meaning to give in or submit. If you acquiesce in something, you agree to do what someone wants or you accept what they do, even though you don’t agree or don’t want to. Because this is a formal word, you’ll most likely see it in books; novels and non-fiction and also in news reports and journalism.

However, you could use it in a business situation. For example:

I acquiesced to my boss’s suggestion that I take on an assistant.
I’ve never seen him acquiesce to our customers; the situation must be pretty desperate!

Bye,

Chris
