Mankind has overcome many troubles. But the relevance of the noun, which we will consider today, is still extreme. Because the evil of social life is not completely defeated, and the secured layer of humanity is readily given into the hands of digital technologies. Thus, today oppression (this is the subject of our conversation today) takes on new forms.
Origin
When we have something to offer the reader in this section, we do not neglect the material. The word is Slavic and is formed from "oppression", that is, "crush, oppress." It finds an unexpected relationship with the German kneten and even Old Icelandic knoda - “what crushes”, “load, heaviness”. So the etymological dictionary considers.
Value
Explanatory dictionary, of course, supports a colleague, but he has an important addition. Let's see the meaning of the word "oppression":
- Heaviness, weight, pressing on something, pressing something.
- That which oppresses torment.
You see, the first value almost completely coincides with the opinion of the etymological dictionary, and the second is a bonus from the explanatory. The course is mainly the second, because we have almost forgotten that oppression is a burden. But there are no notes in the dictionary, which means that the first meaning cannot be considered obsolete.
You can also say about the meanings that the first meaning implies concreteness, and the second - abstractness. In the first case, a tangible load is supposed to crush for a specific purpose, for example, to glue up when our boots are ordered to live long, but we still hope to resuscitate them. And when a boss or work depresses us, outwardly nothing presses us. We are sitting in our office, and the roof does not leak, but we are tormented because we think about self-realization and true life. The reader probably understands what it is about, and if he is still at school, he will understand if he fails to get a job. Of course, forty barrels of prisoners could still be written about this, but we will stop here and move on to examples.
Sentences with the word
Oppression is a great word to make many, many sentences with him. But do not be alarmed, we will limit ourselves to three:
- He was under the yoke of doubt: he did not know whether to shave him or not.
- In order not to violate the recipe, the curd must be put under oppression.
- It seems that the boss threw oppression on him, and he groans under him. Although in fact he was tormented by the meaninglessness of work.
The reader can be convinced of how much oppression is a fertile topic. Moreover, now we have quite a lot of people dissatisfied with everything. And these are usually completely normal people who do not get sick, they are doing well. But it seems to them that they are under terrible oppression. What can you advise the reader in the end? Do not fall into despair: life is beautiful.
