Wondrous Words

Reclaiming Lily by PATTI LACY

Calibrated

"There stood Lily, Precious Fourth Sister. To battle her racing pulse, her melting heart, and mask her love from prying eyes, Kai calibrated Lily's height and weight."

to divide or mark with gradations, graduations, or other indexes of degree, quantity, etc., as on a thermometer, measuring cup, or the like.

Calibrated isn't a new word for me, but I find that really rather an odd use i that sentence. Equipment often needs calibration. It's not something people really do.

Good word and the story sounds good too. I knew calibrated from my husband's use of it. He has great handyman skills and is always measuring.
