Today’s Words That Work: Contravene
To contravene (kon-truh-VEEN) — from the Latin for “to come against” — is to deny or be in conflict with.
Example (as used by Michael Masterson today): “If you set goals that contravene your core values, you will wake up one day and say, ‘I did everything I said I wanted to do. But so what?’”
