Word Of The Day

[Diana]

я часто xожу на студенческие сайты, где встречаются всевозможные мат. задачки, интересные факты, слова(английские) позволяющие пополнять словарный запас. думаю многим будет полезно расширить словасный запас, может не все слова будут употребляться в разговорной речи , но все же полезно знать, да и интересно.

Lets start.

Word of the day.

exegesis \ek-suh-JEE-sis\, noun;

plural exegeses \-seez\:

Exposition; explanation; especially, a critical explanation of a text.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a fiercely argued exegesis of Shakespeare's plays in the tradition of Samuel Johnson, Hazlitt and A. C. Bradley, a study that is as passionate as it is erudite.

These are tightly argued, crisp exercises in literary and cultural exegesis which make perfectly clear the brilliant patterns of language and oftentimes strained analogic thinking of the poets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exegesis comes from Greek, from exegeisthai, "to explain, to interpret," from ex-, "out of" + hegeisthai, "to lead, to guide." Thus an exegesis is, at root, "a leading or guiding out of" a complexity.

Slowly, inevitably, over the course of several months, Don Jaime's pupil draws him into a quagmire of plot and counterplot.

While the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he was awarded in 1957, should have signaled the pinnacle of Camus's career, it came at a time when he was struggling in the deepening quagmire of the Algerian war.

_______________________________________________________________________

Quagmire is from quag, a dialectical variant of quake (from Old English cwacian) + mire, from Old Norse myrr, "a swamp."

Today's word is

fop \FOP\, noun:

A man who is much concerned with his dress and appearance; a dandy. :shljapa:

__________________________________________________________________________

I wear ties because I don't have to, because in an increasingly dressed-down, homogenized world, they can set you apart. I wear ties because they nurture the inner fop. Also the outer one.

Distanced from himself, the young man picks up a 1923 penny from the gutter and fantasizes about buying a motor car and drinking and dining "in the fashion of a fop."

________________________________________________________________________

Fop comes from Middle English fop, foppe, a fool.
