eg_sentence The situation has entered a dynamic phase, and what we knew about it last week has changed considerably by now.
explanation Dynamic is the opposite of static, which means “not moving or active.” So all living languages, for example, are dynamic rather than static, changing from year to year even when they don't appear to be. A bustling commercial city like Hong Kong is intensely dynamic, constantly changing and adapting. A dynamic relationship—for example, the relationship between housing values and interest rates charged by banks—is one that changes all the time. Unfortunately, the word has been used so much by advertisers that we tend to forget its basic meaning.
