Accustomed, adapted or hardened to some environment or circumstance.
I would have been quite surprised if pygmy rice rats had been found on the ship, presuming this is Andes virus. They are not acclimated to humans like Norway rats (i.e., Seoul virus).
I've acclimated to waking up at 4am, but now I better understand why some people have a "don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" mood in the mornings. I just remain tired 😪
Accustomed, adapted or hardened to some environment or circumstance.
Acclimated means: Accustomed, adapted or hardened to some environment or circumstance.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
acclimated means: Accustomed, adapted or hardened to some environment or circumstance.. Register: neutral, standard English. Common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; always check the context before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. 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.
