There are people who are obsessed with order, and there are those who do not particularly care about cleanliness around themselves, that is, they admit a mess. But we will talk about such a phenomenon that absolutely no one likes, except perhaps the instigators, if any. In the area of our attention is the meaning of the word "commotion."
Origin
We can always understand the meaning of a word from the context, provided that we are well acquainted with other linguistic units in the sentence. Such a story will not work with history. Specific data is needed here. When it comes to the meaning of the word “commotion”, unfortunately, there are no such sources. Even the omnipotent etymological dictionary has only hypotheses on hand. For want of a better look at least with them.
So, presumably, borrowed from the Turkic languages. In the Kazakh language there is the word "kotmerme", meaning "impelling horses." Here, of course, one can guess exactly how the original meaning is connected and the one that is known to us, but perhaps the driven horses create excitement and are more anxious, thus creating chaos and anxiety. However, we ran a little ahead.
Explanatory dictionary
We find ourselves in an area where we breathe freer and easier. Of course, the next thing is the lexical meaning of the word “commotion”: “confusion, disorder”.
By the way, have you ever noticed that, as a rule, anxiety or anxiety grows from scratch when it comes to nothing, no, really. Of course, a serious movie is difficult to suspect in a similar, but the plot of various sitcoms revolves around everyday trifles and troubles. The latter, of course, are successfully resolved in the course of the development of a single series, and in the next, other situations arise, and so on until the writers’s imagination runs out or the audience’s interest runs out. It's no secret that the source of life for American situational comedies is a high rating.
And what’s interesting is whether the word has a character. That is, can we name a serious problem as an object of study? It seems that not, because those synonyms through which the meaning of the word "commotion" is given in the explanatory dictionary do not imply any global misfortune. Clutter can be called either household chores, or empty. But, of course, different interpretations are possible here. Maybe the reader has some more explanation.
Synonyms
When we went such a long way from the sources through the meaning, of course, we need to complete the story with those words that can replace the object of study if necessary. Without this, the picture will be incomplete. Consider the list:
- clutter;
- chaos;
- clutter;
- confusion;
- confusion.
Of course, looking at synonyms for the meaning of the word “commotion”, one might think that the word is not just vanity, but vanity multiplied every ten times. But this is not true. The hero of our today's story is also quite suitable for a calm commotion. Moreover, language practice will write everything off. Sometimes meanings flicker in it, which are not found in any dictionary. But here it is necessary to refrain from linguistic anarchism, otherwise it will turn out as in the famous poem of K.I. Chukovsky, when the kittens grunted, the ducklings croaked. Yes, language allows liberties, but to a certain extent.
