AAE Q87: 'A workaround'

Hi,

Can you explain me a word "workaround" please?

I'm not able to find it on any dictionary.

Thanks.

Petr


Hi Petr,

A workaround is a method, sometimes used temporarily, for achieving a task or goal when the usual or planned method isn't working. In information technology, a workaround is often used to overcome hardware, programming, or communication problems. Once a problem is fixed, a workaround is usually abandoned.

Thanks
