ENTRAIN Meaning and
Definition
-
Entrain is a verb that has multiple meanings depending on the context. One of its common definitions refers to the process of boarding or getting on a train or another type of public transportation. In this sense, it implies the act of entering a vessel, typically a train or a subway, to travel from one destination to another.

Another meaning of entrain relates to the synchronization of biological rhythms with external cues, such as light or sound. It refers to the ability of living organisms, particularly animals and humans, to adjust their biological clock or circadian rhythm according to changing environmental conditions. For instance, "The human body can entrain its sleep-wake cycle to adapt to different time zones when traveling across countries."
Additionally, entrain can be used in a scientific context to describe the process by which a fluid or a gas carries along particles or substances suspended within it. This can occur due to the movement of the fluid or the gas, creating a suspension where the particles are lifted and transported. For instance, "The wind entrained dust particles, causing reduced visibility on the road."
In summary, the verb entrain encompasses different meanings, including boarding a train or transportation, synchronizing biological rhythms, and the transportation of suspended particles within a fluid or gas. The precise meaning depends on the context in which it is used.
