Someone may find that this is extremely unfair and interesting at a time when reality offers us as an ideal muscular men and athletic women. And here, in spite of everything, we will discuss the feeble, it takes us much more than any athletes there. If you are with us, then we set off.
Origin
This is the rare case when even someone who has never come into contact with philology will understand the etymology. When we are not sure that an object is made of any material, we have only one way - to feel it. That's the same with a man. True, in this case we do not need to establish tactile contact to make sure that a person is thin and weak. And so everything is visible. However, the initial meaning is as follows: so thin that you can feel all the bones. Still people with a similar physique are called a "skeleton" or "skeleton", deliberately distorting the first letter, sometimes contemptuously, sometimes ironically.
This is first, and then people begin to envy such a quick metabolism, because there are no problems with being overweight. True, thin people have their own difficulties: they would like to type a little, but nothing comes of it. Life has a sense of humor, and sometimes her laugh is sardonic. Such is the origin of the adjective "feeble", and this is more than obvious. We move on.
Value
In general, in this sense, the main complaint against the poor is that they, they say, will not achieve anything in life. But these considerations are no longer relevant. Our civilized world is not like Sparta. This means that everyone will find application, as in the army that Robert Heinlein created. This, of course, is about the book "Starship Troopers." Therefore, even if you are a feeble nerd, this is by no means a problem, because over time, nerds begin to control the fighters. In the digital world, a completely different disposition of forces. Okay, let’s, until we reach an agreement on cyberpunk, let’s define the word from the explanatory dictionary: “weak, thin, nondescript”. Do not forget to say that this is an adjective colloquial.
People with a slim build, willingly or involuntarily, if they have a reason, are forced to develop their spiritual and intellectual qualities. True, sometimes frail - this is only a deceptive appearance. It happens that nature jokes and puts in a thin body a force sufficient to solve various everyday tasks. Such people are also called sinewy. The reader will say that usually the muscles are still visible in the latter, or at least some hint of them. That's right, but they are not athletes anyway. Such a subject remains feeble, and this is inevitable.
Synonyms
As a rule, we cannot do without replacements. Information is selected specifically for the reader, so that he does not feel that he has been missed something in each case. Let's see what the dictionary sent us this time. How to replace the word "feeble"? The answer is further:
- frail;
- puny;
- nondescript;
- subtle.
Unfortunately, no more. As usual, we excluded repetitions and some unpleasant words. In other words, as in a well-known advertisement, "we have selected the best for you." When you use substitutions, keep an eye on the context. The main thing is that the context and the words are equal to each other. The reader has everything in order not to make a mistake in the meaning of the "feeble", his replacement and an idea of what the fate of people in the world is who cannot for some reason do weightlifting. The moral is: the door to sports is not really closed for anyone.
