Question

mandatory If attendance at the meeting hadn't been mandatory, she would have just gone home. ˈmændəˌtɔri

Accepted Answer

Required. Something mandatory is the result of a mandate or order, which usually comes in the form of a law, rule, or regulation. Today there seem to be a lot of these mandates, so mandatory seat belts, mandatory inspections for industries, and mandatory prison sentences for violent crimes are regularly in the news. But mandatory retirement at age 65, which used to be common, is now illegal in most cases.
