| Phrase | pioneer |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "pioneer" means a person who does something for the first time, or goes where other people have not been before: "The earliest pioneers in medicine were performing operations under difficult circumstances, without basic surgical tools or anesthesia." The word can also refer to an organization or institution: "Our company is a pioneer in using plastics for computers." A "pioneer" is also someone who settles (begins to live) in a new, undeveloped area where there are many challenges and/or dangers, especially in the western part of North American during the early and mid-1800s: "Early pioneers frequently fought with Native Americans." Or, "What killed more of the early American pioneers: disease, injury, or starvation?" |
