Archaisms are obsolete and obsolete words that are almost impossible to hear in everyday speech. Nevertheless, they can often be found in proverbs and sayings, literary works, old films, theatrical productions. One of these words is "hope." Let us consider in more detail what the word "hope" means, and the meaning of phrases with its use. Not everyone knows this.
Meaning of the word “hope”
According to Dahl's explanatory dictionary, this concept is defined as having a strong faith in someone or in something. This term is equivalent to such words as “rely”, “hope”, “reckon”. That is, the meaning implies that only an external factor (higher forces, an outsider, a fluke), completely independent of the person, can influence the situation. Thus, the meaning of the word “hope” is not based on efforts or knowledge and calculations, but on simple hope and faith in miracles.
Examples of use
Perhaps the most famous and illustrative example of the use of the word “trust” in the meaning of “believe, hope” is the Russian dictum: “Hope in God, but don’t betray yourself.” The first part in its initial meaning sounded like: "Trust in God."
Other examples worth considering. Also, the word “trust” in the meaning of “rely on someone” or “trust completely” can be found in works of art. For example: the film "I trust in you" (1992), "On you, mother, on you, my dear, I trust in you!" ("12 Chairs", I. Ilf and E. Petrov), "Jesus, I Trust in You" (icon of the Roman Catholic Church, the second name is "The Image of Jesus the Merciful").
This term in its original meaning came out of colloquial speech, and today the meaning of the word “hope” has acquired an ironic connotation. It is used to emphasize the hopelessness of the situation. For example: " The attacking game completely went wrong, and there was only hope for zeal and luck. "
Also in some cases, such a word is used to define a person as a parasite sitting on someone’s neck. For example: "He lived, trusting in his father."
