Man is a lazy creature, which makes it difficult to get used to the new schedule. And if the alarm clock helps him in everyday life, then in the fresh air or after heavy loads, there is no desire to turn on gadgets. Therefore, in health camps and in the army a slightly different method is used. And this is a wake-up call when the ringing horn or the loud voice of a senior officer makes you jump faster on the bed. But how did the word appear? You need to look at similar concepts!
Encouragement or coercion?
The original form of "wake up" is found in almost all East Slavic languages with a single interpretation, in which someone is freed from sleep. Philologists point out that the basic verb is the causative word for vigil, the original meaning of which is to stay awake. As part of his research, Fasmer pointed out related Lithuanian terms:
- baudžiù, baũsti - threaten or force;
- pasibaudýti - set off or rise.
Also indicative will be the Old Prussian etbaudints with the translation "smart, peppy." That is, the person not only acquires the vitality of the body, but also begins to think better.
Why are morphemes important?
The main role is played by the prefix , which retains its meaning in the word “wake-up”. When it comes to a verb, the action is stretched:
- by time - an attempt for a long time to stir up someone;
- in quantity - when they methodically wake up one after another.
There is also a hunting term for action when a beater raises an animal from a lying position. However, a noun popular in the modern world has inherited its interpretation from the vernacular variant, approaching “wake up”.
Only in prison and in the army?
The studied concept in most ordinary people is associated exclusively with sensitive objects. It is not surprising, because there it is used on an ongoing basis, is included in the text of the charter, is an organic part of the daily routine. It has two main meanings:
- action on a single root verb;
- signal to rise.
All options from the previous subheading remain relevant. But they are supplemented by special means and forms of interaction with others, which replace a person or help him reach the sleeping comrades. Awakening is the most different things:
- a simple cry;
- Radio signal
- horn sound, etc.
For some, the word can cause negative emotions due to bad personal experience. But in itself it is devoid of negative subtext, moreover, it is used in official documents. It can be used in everyday life and in an ironic manner, for example, when a mother wakes up a large family at once in order to “disperse” her to work and school. And if you go to bed in a timely manner, then any morning will seem wonderful, no matter you wake up in your own bed or in an army bed.
