acclimating
Adjusting to conditions
Acclimating is the process of adjusting to new conditions—climate, altitude, environment, or circumstances.
A hiker acclimates to high elevation over several days.
Someone new to a job acclimates to the workplace culture: I'm still acclimating to the early schedule.
The spelling acclimating is American; the British prefer acclimatising.
