When you acclimatize, you slowly get used to a new place, a new kind of weather, or a new way of life — and you can also acclimatize someone else, by giving them time to adjust. After a hot summer, it takes a few days to acclimatize to air-conditioning; after a move, it takes longer to acclimatize to a new school.
