What do the words have in common: fainting, blinking and dusk? It turns out that they all descended from the Pre-Slavic - "trouble". In addition, our ancestors called this name the sinister god of lies and deceit. Let’s try to figure out what the trouble is, where in this word it is correct to emphasize and which synonyms are closest to it.
Value
In the dictionaries, you can find several definitions of Old Slavonicism - a hassle. The emphasis in a word is always on the first vowel. Presenting the four most popular meanings of mysterious morocco:
- Most often, one can read that a hassle is a distortion of perception, a distortion of reality. It would seem that hassle is a synonym for a mirage that seems to be tortured travelers in the desert. But in contrast to the usual deception of vision, he does not appear himself, but he is “induced”.
- In conversation, trouble usually means exhausting and unloved work, as well as vanity.
- Initially, our ancestors called it fog and darkness, and in the figurative sense of the word, something intoxicating reason.
- Also, under the lock sometimes understand eye disease.
Morok is a synonym for obsession. And today it is the most accurate definition of "foggy" Old Slavism. Other synonyms include: darkness, darkness, blurred consciousness.
Derivatives of the word
Apparently, our ancestors gravitated toward everything mysterious and mysterious. It is not without reason that a lot of derivatives have appeared from the word hassle, which we still use in everyday speech. Perhaps they will help to more accurately understand what is a hassle.
As you might guess, the most popular derivative is "trouble." There is already an emphasis on the second "o". True, there is little mystery in this word. Most often it is understood as red tape, troubles, problems, worries, as well as complicated complicated tasks.
More mysterious may seem to all known "dusk." Initially, it sounded like twilight. But it meant the same thing as in our days - the gap between sunset and nightfall.
The word "swoon" also came from the already familiar hassle. But, unlike the mysterious obsession, this is a very real phenomenon - a temporary loss of consciousness.
Another popular derivative word is “blink,” that is, close and open your eyes. Quickly plunge into and out of the darkness.
These are not all the words that descended from the Old Slavonic mess. These include definitions such as blinking, flickering, fooling, fading, dimming, and many others.
Phraseologisms
Morok is a word that has given us stable expressions. At least without him there would have been no popular idiom “To fool your head”. That is, it is obscuring, confusing, or simply trying to leave another person "in the cold."
Without confusion, our contemporaries would not know what “darker than clouds” means. I would have to look for a new definition for a sullen person who is in heavy thought.
There would also be some catchphrases that came into colloquial speech from Soviet films. For example, a hero from "Gentlemen of Fortune" would not have shouted loudly that he would "break his mouth, throw out the blinkers." Because, as we remember, the word "blink", and therefore the jargon of "blink", also came from the "hassle".
Morok in ancient mythology
But, it turns out, there is another unique meaning of the word hassle. There was one gloomy creator in the pantheon of Slavic gods. He deceived people, patronized lies, deceit, ignorance, brought bad dreams with him, and also introduced into hypnosis and arranged confusion. The Slavs called it Morok.
It is believed that this is an analogue of the Greek god Morpheus (the god of dreams). He is also compared to the cunning Scandinavian god Loki. Or with the Greek rogue god Hermes. But at the same time, Morok is darker and darker. They often scared children.
It is no accident that the Slavs awarded their god with such functions. It is he who protects from people the path to Truth, which mortals are not supposed to know.
Why is the god Morok such a heavy temper?
In order to fully understand what a hassle is, it is worth turning to the genealogy of a Slavic deity. It is at this stage that it becomes clear why this god is so insidious. It turns out that this is the son of Koshchei Chernobog, also known as Bes. God of cold, death and madness. Actually, with such a father it is difficult to be a god of love and beauty.
Mother Morocco also got uneasy. She became the goddess of nightmare and ghosts - Mara, also known as Morena. It scares people, takes away their health and, like a son, fogs reason. It turns out that the son just took all the "best" from his parents.
At the same time, Morok has a twin brother. Known as Frost. Today, in our view, this is a good grandfather who brings obedient children gifts. In the view of the Slavs, this is a stern deity that plunged the earth into a mortal dream. Even the Sun was afraid of him.
At the same time, the brothers loved to joke and at times turned into each other. January 1, on his birthday, Frost and Morok walked through the villages and sent frost and obsession to people. The Slavs left various gifts and sweets on the windows of the brothers so that the treacherous gods would not harm them much.
How not to succumb to the troubles?
Despite the fact that this is an Old Slavonic word, some modern people on themselves can feel what a hassle is. Most often these days, various manipulators blur the mind. These include:
- Sectarians.
- Pickupers.
- Roma.
- Some representatives of network marketing.
That is, people who need to get some benefit from a person who is confused by him. Quite often, trouble is induced using neuro-linguistic programming techniques, such as:
- anchor, that is, an impulse to something;
- trans - switching attention, "disconnecting" from the outside world;
- suggestion of the necessary information.
Moreover, the suggestion is of two types. In the first case, the “victim” fulfills the will of the manipulator. In the second, adepts resort to metaphors, forcing a person to agree with the interlocutor through understandable associations. For example, pickups tell girls beautiful love stories.
In order not to succumb to modern hassle, psychologists recommend:
- Ask clarifying questions (this knocks down the finished script).
- To meet flattery with compliments (so you won’t feel that you owe something to the manipulator).
In addition, you can try to use the term from NLP or, say, a pickup truck, in the wrong sense. If the interlocutor begins to correct, perhaps he is trying to mislead you.
