The word that got into parsing today has two meanings, and this is understandable, even without consulting the dictionary. One relates to physical objects, and the other to abstract entities. This will be about luggage, this could not be understood from previous proposals. Accordingly, luggage can be measured in suitcases, or maybe in knowledge. Let's take a closer look at the word.
Origin
No one would be surprised to say that the word is very ancient. It came to us from the French language in the 18th century, where bagage is “baggage”. And the story is even more interesting if we look into the wonderful book of Lev Vasilyevich Uspensky, “Why not otherwise?”. It indicates that the French themselves did not invent the word that interests us. They borrowed it in Old Icelandic. The Vikings had the word “buggy” (with emphasis on the first syllable) - “knot”. It is clear that then the word “bug” came to the forefront - a package - Uspensky gives such a translation. A modern dictionary offers a translation (namely from French, not from English) “bag”. This is how “baggage” arose - these are “bales of things”. And only then we had the pleasure of meeting him, and now we cannot surprise anyone with a noun.
Value
The current state is probably not so impressive, but the language, like life, is full of bursts and flashes, but there are even, prosaic places in it that are also necessary. So, the meaning of the word luggage:
Items, cargo of passengers, packed for dispatch, transportation.
Stock of knowledge, information (figurative and book).
Everything is as it was said at the beginning: one meaning is operations with objects, and the other with abstract entities. And to say that more valuable, impossible. We will reveal the values ​​on the example of sentences.
Sentences with the word
Sometimes abstract knowledge that is not tied to a specific example is easily lost. To prevent this from happening, we will compose three sentences that will use the meaning of the object of study in different ways:
- It is better to take a little luggage on a trip, because we will swim and sunbathe most of the time. Parties are not expected there, maybe only beach ones, but they don’t need evening dresses.
- When a person enters a university, he should already have a decent baggage of knowledge, but not in his future specialty, of course, but in those subjects that he will have to take on admission.
- Lugging heavy luggage is another challenge. I envy those who travel light.
The main thing in the sentences is the truth. At the resort it is really better not to burden yourself with things, but to enjoy your vacation. We can say that luggage is one of the cornerstones of our life. Traveling lightly in the sense of knowledge and in the sense of things has its advantages and disadvantages. Let the reader think about it at their leisure.
