(pronounced IN-kuhl-kayt)

This strong verb means to teach, infuse or ingrain a concept or habit by repetition and admonition.

Example: Judy did everything she could think of to inculcate her juniors and seniors with rules of workplace etiquette since she often received feedback from the professionals who hosted her interior design program’s internships that most students had difficulty conducting themselves around co-workers and clients.
