– Definition: adj. cautiously or suspiciously reluctant to do something.
– Used in a sentence: Due to long experience, my cat is no longer chary of taking his arthritis medicine.
– Why: I suppose you could always use the synonymic rhyme “wary,” but to me “chary” sounds similar to “charity” — and it’s sometimes prudent to be so when offered something for nothing.
