acclimatev.

Brit.

/ˈaklᵻmeɪt/, U.S.

/ˈækləˌmeɪt/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French acclimater.

Etymology: < French acclimater (1775) < a- a- prefix⁵ + climat climate n.¹ Compare later acclimatize v. N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (ăkləi·mĕt) /əˈklaɪmət/, as do all dictionaries before the early 20th cent. Conc. Oxf. Dict. (1911) gives stress on the first syllable, but with the second vowel as in climate. Webster's New Internat. Dict. Eng. Lang. (1934) gives the current pronunciation as an alternative.

Now chiefly U.S.

a. transitive. To habituate to a new climate or environment; (of plants) to harden off. Now sometimes spec.: to habituate physiologically or behaviourally to a change in a single factor under controlled conditions. Cf. acclimatize v. 1a.
