Excited - is that how? Origin, meaning, synonyms and sentences

Edmund Shklyarsky, the leader of the Picnic group, has these lines: “We are like tremulous birds, we are like candles in the wind.” Today we will be interested not so much in the adjective as in the adverb, but experience suggests that a conversation cannot do without an adjective. Explain the word "tremulous." It will be interesting.

Origin of the noun

Many good and “high” words go out of circulation, or at least they are not often used in everyday life. Who remembers the thrill now? Lovers, when they are at the highest point of their feelings, and lovers of thrillers. And also those who know that there was such a philosopher Seren Kierkegaard, who wrote the work “Fear and Awe.” Here is perhaps the whole list of those who are interested in a noun. But we will restore justice and talk about the origins of the word "awe."

The etymological dictionary is “stingy with words, like De Niro” (B. Grebenshchikov): the word is Slavic and comes from the same basis as “wagging” - “knocking”. And it means "shake, tremble." And our language stores some echoes of historical significance. For example, when mothers reproach a child about a child: “Why are you shaking him so much?” In fact, she is kind to the child. This message is simply incorrectly expressed.

Meaning of Adjective and Adverb

An excursion into history, as always, precedes the main section on the meaning of the word. We decided not to depart from tradition. Take the explanatory dictionary. The adverb “tremulous” is something that is not in the dictionary by itself, but there is a related adjective. We will take its value as a basis:

1. Trembling, wavering.
2. Excited, expressing awe (in the second meaning).
3. Seized with fear and awe (in the third meaning). Outdated at the moment.

The situation is hopeless: we still have to shed light on the meaning of the word “awe”, since the noun plays such an important role to define the adjective and adverb. So:

1. Oscillation, trembling.
2. Strong excitement, tension of feelings (part of the book vocabulary).
3. Fear, fear.

There are no surprises, but it’s always better to check everything once again. Now you can easily understand how it is, anxious. And we move on to the proposals.

Sentences with the word

The paradoxes of human memory are interesting. You may not remember exactly the wording of the rule, but remember the example perfectly. True, this rather works when it comes to punctuation, but you can try to do something similar with the object of study:

• He was so kind to his library that he locked up the room where the books stood: he was afraid that the children would be disturbed by the still-ancient folios.
• We are accustomed to be instrumental in modernity and reverently in history. It seems that our life is somehow fake, but people used to live - yes, giants and giants. Probably, such a deception of perception is characteristic of all people of all eras.
• Children can be treated kindly or not, but rigor should still be present.

By the way, to prove the existence of such nostalgia for the past, the reader can recommend Woody Allen’s wonderful film “Midnight in Paris” (2011). In it, the protagonist idolized the writers of the 20th century - Hemingway and Fitzgerald. And when he got into their company (how this happened, the reader will understand if he watches the film), he met a girl who wanted to take a temporary leap for another century and find herself in the XIX century, to pay homage to Toulouse-Lautrec and other idols of the bohemia of the XX century .

Synonyms

The most important thing, of course, is for later.

But this is how to look. In any case, synonyms for “reverently” follow:

• trembling
• scared;
• excitedly;
• cowardly.

And that's all, if we talk only about words and leave aside phrases. Of course, we personally do not agree to put “cowardly” and “tremulous” on the same board and on the same list, but the logic of the language requires recognition from us: awe (in one of its meanings) is fear. In addition, if you recall the tales, the bunny trembles before the wolf, which means you won’t erase words from the song. We hope that the reader understands what is reverent.
