endemic - en-DEM-ik - the innate tendency to behave in a particular way
Example: "All China's barriers to higher consumption are endemic - their focus on one thing: making stuff."
As a starter: and as a former teacher in English, I hope to add to reader's vocabulary by presenting a word a day in simple terms that anyone can understand - from current use in publications, radio,TV, etc. Remember: use a new word three times in a day and it's yours forever!
