recalibrate
Significado: To adjust or correct a measuring instrument, system, or approach in light of new information or changed circumstances.
Originally a technical term from engineering and science, recalibrate has become a favourite of political commentators and business strategists. It implies a measured, deliberate adjustment rather than a wholesale change of direction. Common collocations include 'recalibrate expectations,' 'recalibrate the approach,' and 'recalibrate the relationship.' It carries a sense of sophistication, suggesting the speaker values precision.
