In nightmares, sometimes it happens: actions are repeated all the time, and it seems to a person that this will always be the case, and then he wakes up. But sometimes repetition is not so terrible. For example, our daily routine is also cyclical, but some even like it if life is arranged intelligently and not burdened by suffering. Today, consider what is also based on repetition. At the center of the story is the adjective "sacramental", it will be informative and interesting.
Value
Each person or literary hero has words that belong only to him. For example, Sherlock Holmes is strongly associated with the exclamation “elementary, Watson!”, Although experts say that this phrase is not in the collected works about the famous detective. Or take the incarnation of Holmes, Gregory House, his, perhaps, the most famous maxim: "Everyone lies."
Before we reveal the cards and talk about how it all relates to the adjective “sacramental” (it can wait), we turn to the explanatory dictionary and learn from him about the meaning of the object of study:
- Associated with a religious ceremony, ritual.
- Established in tradition, which has become commonplace.
The first meaning is direct, and the second is figurative. Of course, when we are talking about something sacramental, we don’t even know about any rite. Rather, we have in mind just the linguistic business card of one or another person. Because the object of study is primarily associated with words.
Characters and their cues
Of course, if the reader is given time, then he will surely say what phrases his relatives and friends associate with, we, in turn, could tell about our relatives and friends. In a word, all this promises a wonderful, but endless conversation, which we cannot afford. Therefore, we turn to cinema images, which are close to many and are very popular.
Recall the wonderful film "Rain Man" (1988). With the protagonist Raymond Babbitt associated primarily with the phrase "who plays in first base?" and the adverb “categorically”. This is precisely the sacramental words for Raymond Babbitt, that is, that which has become part of everyday life.
Do you remember the Robert Zemeckis trilogy “Back to the Future”? When Marty got into the past, the phrase “a hard case” sounded like a refrain in a conversation with Doc about McFly Jr.'s parents. In general, everyone has their own associations. But any character of both the film and the book is created by just such linguistic, speech refrains that stick tightly to him and in this case make him alive. This is the paradoxical interaction of life and death in art. It turns out that the sacramental is not only an important part of religion, but also art. Needless to say, "there are strange rapprochements." And perhaps, on the contrary, very natural.
Synonyms
In order to consolidate the success and diversify the reader’s dictionary, we, along with the meaning of “sacramental,” also offer logical replacements for the object of study. Freedom of choice is our everything. We must not lag behind the civilized world. So, let's review the list:
- normal;
- traditional;
- ritual.
Probably, the reader could handle without us, carefully analyzing the previous story. But it is more convenient for synonyms to be given in a list and in one place.
We remind you that today we considered the adjective "sacramental", and this was, we hope, curious.
