How to use gingerly in a metaphor?


Rate This Answer

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” Using gingerly as a metaphor you can say, "The state is moving gingerly ahead with the legalization of marijuana, mindful that the closely watched program could go up in smoke because it conflicts with federal law."
