acclimatising

Becoming used to

Acclimatising is the British spelling of acclimatizing—adjusting to new conditions, especially climate or environment.

The process may be physical, as when a mountaineer acclimatises to high altitude, or figurative: She's still acclimatising to her new role.

The adjustment takes time and implies gradual adaptation rather than immediate comfort.
