What distinguishes a literate person from an ignoramus? First of all, this is an understanding of the meanings of the words of the Russian language and the ability to select synonyms for them. At a young age, it seems that this knowledge cannot be decisive, but in fact, over time, the need to constantly replenish its vocabulary increases. Therefore, it will be useful for everyone to engage in their own self-education. Do you know the adverb "meek"? This word and its meaning will be the topic of our article. As a supplement, we will indicate its most common synonyms.
Resignedly - how is it?
In Russian, there are words that are rarely used in connection with the transformations of everyday speech. The adverb "meekly" can be safely attributed to this category. This is the word that came to us from long forgotten times, when girls wore sundresses, and men spent most of their time in battles.
Initially, the word "murmur" existed in the Old Slavic language. Its value can be reduced to the following formulations:
- make noise;
- to thunder;
- grumble;
- clap.
Subsequently, adjectives that take various forms began to form from the verb. Already from the adjective "meek" formed the adverb "meek". It is very often used in everyday speech and in literature. If you read the poets of the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries, then the adverb "meek" is found in descriptions of situations and characteristics of human actions. What does this word mean?
In various dictionaries of the Russian language, "to do meekly" means to do or accept something submissively and with humility. Often the adverb was applied to girls who with dignity and obediently accepted their sometimes unenviable share. In this case, they said that the girl meekly accepts all the whims of fate.
