Abide arc means: The character development chapter where someone stops fighting every battle and learns the hard-earned art of letting things be. An abide arc is often the most underrated transformation a person goes. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
