In this article, we will look at some buzzwords and their meaning. Many of them are probably familiar to you. However, not everyone knows what they mean. The most taken by us from various areas of human knowledge.
Quintessence
Quintessence - in medieval and ancient alchemy and natural philosophy - the fifth element, ether, the fifth element. He is like lightning. This is one of the main elements (elements), the most accurate and subtle. In modern cosmology, quintessence is a model of dark energy (its hypothetical form, which has a negative pressure and fills evenly the space of the Universe). The quintessence in a figurative sense is the most important, essential, main essence, the purest and most subtle essence, extract.
Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is a word that is an onomatopoeia that arose as a result of phonetic assimilation to various non-speech complexes. Onomatopoeic most often is vocabulary that is directly related to objects and creatures - sources of sound. These are, for example, such verbs as "meow", "croak", "rumble", "crow", and nouns derived from them.
Singularity
Singularity - which is a certain point at which the considered mathematical function tends to infinity or has some other irregular behavior.
There is also a gravitational singularity. This is a region of space-time where the curvature of the continuum turns into infinity or suffers a break, or the metric has other pathological properties that do not allow physical interpretation. - a short period of rapid technological progress, assumed by researchers. The singularity of consciousness is a globally generalizing, expanded state of consciousness. In cosmology, this is the state of the Universe in which it was at the beginning of the Big Bang, it is characterized by infinite temperature and density of matter. In biology, this concept is used mainly to generalize the evolutionary process.
transcendence
The term "transcendence" (the adjective - "transcendent") comes from a Latin word meaning "to cross over". This is the term of philosophy, which characterizes something inaccessible to experimental knowledge. B was used together with the term "transcendental" to refer to God, the soul, and other concepts. Immanent is its opposite.
Catharsis
"Catharsis" is a term from modern psychoanalysis, denoting the process of removing or reducing anxiety, frustration, conflict with the help of emotional release and their verbalization. In ancient Greek aesthetics, this concept was used to express in a word the impact on a person of art. The term "catharsis" in ancient philosophy was used to denote the result and process of ennobling, purifying, facilitating the impact of various factors on a person.
Continuum
What buzzwords do you need to know? For example, the continuum. This is a set equivalent to the set of all real numbers, or a class of such sets. In philosophy, this term was used by the ancient Greeks, as well as in the writings of the scholastics of the Middle Ages. In modern works, in connection with a change in the "continuum" itself, they often replace the noun "duration", "continuity", "continuity".
Nigredo
"Nigredo" is the term of alchemy, which denotes the complete decomposition or the first stage in the creation of the so-called philosopher's stone. This is a formation from a homogeneous black mass of components. The next stages after the nigredo are the albedo (a white stage, which produces a lesser elixir that turns metals into silver) and rubedo (a red one, after which a great elixir is obtained).
Entropy
"Entropy" is a concept that was introduced by the German mathematician and physicist Clausius. It is used in thermodynamics to determine the degree of deviation from the ideal real process, the degree of energy dissipation. Entropy, defined as the sum of reduced heats, is a state function. It is constant in various reversible processes, and in irreversible processes its change is always positive. In particular, it can be distinguished that this is a measure of the uncertainty of a certain source of messages, which is determined by the probabilities of occurrence during the transmission of certain characters.
Empathy
In psychology, buzzwords are often found, and their designations sometimes cause difficulties in defining them. One of the most popular is the word "empathy". This is the ability to empathize, the ability to put yourself in the place of another (object or person). Also, empathy is the ability to accurately identify a particular person, based on actions, facial reactions, gestures, etc.
Behaviorism
Smart words and expressions from psychology also include such a direction in this science that explains human behavior. It studies the direct connections between reactions (reflexes) and stimuli. Behaviorism directs the attention of psychologists to the study of experience, skills, as opposed to psychoanalysis and associationism.
enduro
Enduro is a style of riding on special trails or off-road, racing over long distances over rough terrain. They differ from motocross in that the race takes place on a closed track, and the lap length is from 15 to 60 km. Racers cover several laps per day, the total distance is from 200 to 300 km. Basically, the route is laid in a mountainous area and is rather difficult to pass due to the abundance of streams, fords, descents, ascents, etc. Enduro is also a mixture of city and motocross bikes.
They are easy to operate, like road vehicles, have increased cross-country ability. Enduro is close in a number of characteristics to cross-country. You can call them motorcycle-jeeps. One of their main qualities is unpretentiousness.
Other buzzwords and their meaning
Existentialism (in other words, the philosophy of existence) is a trend in philosophy in the 20th century that viewed man as a spiritual being capable of choosing his own destiny.
Synergetics is an interdisciplinary area of research in science, the task of which is to study natural processes and phenomena based on the principles of self-organization of various systems that consist of subsystems.
Annihilation is the reaction of the transformation of an antiparticle and a particle upon collision into some particles different from the original ones.
A priori (literal translation from Latin - "from the previous one") is knowledge that is obtained independently of experience and before it.
Modern smart words are not clear to everyone. For example, "metanoia" (from the Greek word meaning "rethinking", "after the mind") is a term that means repentance (especially in psychotherapy and psychology), regret about what happened.
Compilation (in other words, programming) is the transformation by some compiler program of a text written in a complex language into a machine, close to it, or an objective module.
Rasterization is the translation of an image, which is described by a vector format, into dots or pixels for output to a printer or display. This is a process that is the inverse of vectorization.
The next term is intubation. It comes from the Latin words for "in" and "pipe". This is the introduction of a special tube into the larynx when it narrows, which threatens to suffocate (with swelling of the larynx, for example), as well as into the trachea in order to carry out anesthesia.
Vivisection is the performance of surgical operations on a living animal in order to examine the functions of the body or individual extracted organs, to study the effects of various drugs, to develop surgical methods of treatment, or for educational purposes.
The list of "Smart words and their meaning", of course, can be continued. There are a lot of such words in various branches of knowledge. We have identified only a few that are quite widespread today. Knowing buzzwords and their meaning is useful. This develops erudition, allows you to better navigate the world. Therefore, it would be nice to remember what buzzwords are called.
More than 6,000 languages are spoken on Earth, and all of them describe the diversity and versatility of human life.
But since all these languages convey slightly different worldviews, no language can fully accommodate the experience of mankind. On the contrary, in every language on Earth there are words that do not exist in any other language. These treasures of linguistics are easy to define, but they cannot be translated in a single word. Can you, for example, remember at least one word that denotes your essence, which you put into work? You could say that you put your "whole soul", and the Greeks simply call this kind of passion for work μεράκι (meraki).
Geography, climate, cuisine, religion and humor are just a few of the factors that lead to the emergence of such unique and unusual words in the language - a separate part of the human experience.
Here are some examples of the rarest words that have no analogues in other languages of the world:
abbiocco (Italian)
Noun: That feeling of drowsiness that occurs after a hearty lunch or dinner.
We have all succumbed to a light nap after eating, but only the Italians have carefully summed up this phenomenon in one word. Therefore, when you really want to take a nap after dinner, know that you have abbiocco.
desenrascanço (Portuguese)
Noun: The ability to quickly find an impromptu solution.
Desenrascanco- this is the style of work of any successful red tape. This refers not only to solving problems and completing tasks, but also a completely impromptu approach. Secret agent MacGyver from the television series of the same name used this skill, each time averting disaster with a curved paper clip and a gum wrapper.
hyggelig (Danish)
Adjective: comfortable, cozy.
Have you ever needed a word that combines everything cozy, safe, friendly and caring? The Danes have embraced all these meanings with the word hyggelig. It is used so often in everyday life that many Danes consider it a trait of their national character.
sobremesa (Spanish)
Noun: After-dinner conversation at the table.
The Spaniards are known for their love of long breakfasts, lunches and dinners together, but it's not just about the food. If after dinner you stay at the table to savor the last "dish" - a pleasant conversation, then you are pampering yourself sobremes.
utepils (Norwegian)
Noun: beer that is drunk on the street.
Norwegians have to wait out a long, dark winter to enjoy a beautiful but short summer. Therefore, the beer that is drunk under the open sky, absorbing the bright rays of the sun, is not just a “beer” for you, but utepils.
verschlimmbessern (German)
Verb: to make a situation worse in an attempt to improve it.
We've all experienced this before: by trying to solve a small problem, we create an even bigger one. Maybe you've tried to inflate a flat tire on your bike and the wheel won't spin now? Or after reinstalling Windows, does your laptop freeze every time you turn it on? Oh no! Just don’t say that you yourself tried to fix a haircut you didn’t like! In general, any of these actions the German would call verschlimmbessern.
yakamoz (Turkish) and mångata (Swedish)
Noun: Reflection of moonlight on water.
It doesn't matter what language you speak. From time to time you, for sure, admire the reflection of the moon on the water surface. But if you are not a Turk or a Swede, then it is impossible to describe this beauty in one word. Swedish mengata literally translated as "moon road", the most appropriate poetic description.
Turkish also has a special word - Gumusservi, but it is not used in everyday speech. It is much easier to call the lunar reflection on the water yakamoz. This word can describe any light reflected from the water, or even a sparkling fish.

In the Russian language, as, indeed, in any other, there are a lot of outdated, little-known, uncommon, unusual, incomprehensible words and expressions, in other words - gloss. A collection of such words with explanations is called a glossary.
The author wanted to create a dictionary of rare and forgotten words, and not just obsolete ones. The fact is that not every obsolete word is forgotten and not every rare word is outdated. It is easy to see this if you look into the Dictionary of the Russian Language by S.I. Ozhegov, which almost everyone has at hand. Here, almost a third of the words have signs " obsolete", "ancient". But it is difficult to recognize them as rare and forgotten: they are often used both in literature and in oral speech (amorous, sweetheart, execution). Words of this kind were not included in the glossary. It is quite obvious why: they are well known to the modern reader. Another thing - words like " Grid"(member of the prince's squad)," Custodian" (watchman), " grivoise"(playful, immodest)," shibai" (small dealer) or expressions " man of the twentieth"(employee)," Egyptian virgins"(gypsies)," on the third platoon"(very drunk). Such words and expressions are innumerable, because the layer of words, which is the name of the gloss, in the Russian language is quite powerful.
Many of them are present in the works of Russian writers from Alexander Sumarokov (mid-18th century) to Alexander Blok (early 20th century). Not only a young reader, but also a sophisticated book lover may have difficulty reading the masterpieces of Russian literature of the Golden and Silver Ages. Especially in cases where the context does not help to understand the meaning glosses, and in explanatory dictionaries it is absent. This is where the glossary comes in.
This is a popular reference book for the thoughtful reader of belles lettres. Hence the simplification of the dictionary entry, in which there are no stresses on the head words (they are in their list), grammatical and stylistic marks, indications of direct and figurative word meanings. Not in the tradition of linguistic dictionaries, a quotation from a literary source is framed. This is done so that the reader, according to the intention of the compiler, pays attention first of all to what kind of forgotten word, in what sense, in which writer and poet it occurs. For the inquisitive reader, information is also given about the origin of words, information about some realities.
The author has no doubt that his book is not without flaws, for it was said by the French writer of the XVIII century. Antoine Rivarol: "There is no such work that would contain more shortcomings than a dictionary." However, the author was consoled by the lexicographer Pierre Boist, a contemporary of Rivarol, who melancholy remarked that "God alone can compose perfect dictionary". (V. P. Somov)

Reviews
Your dictionary, Yuri Alexandrovich, seemed interesting to me.
Veksha is a squirrel. Hence the name Vekshegonov. I wonder when the Russians forgot the former name of the squirrel? 200 years ago, 300?
Hominy is a steeply brewed porridge made from cornmeal. During the Great Patriotic War, the Germans prepared hominy for Russian prisoners. The depleted stomachs of the prisoners, who had not seen food for weeks, could not stand it, and diarrhea (diarrhea) developed everywhere. The number of prisoners in the camp, without any effort on the part of the German administration, naturally decreased by 90%.
Nazarene - the nickname of Jesus Christ, who lived in Nazareth before the beginning of his ministry. Nazarene is also the name of one of the religious sects. The Nazarenes, according to tradition, did not cut their hair and did not wash. The Nazarene was the legendary Samson. It is no wonder that Jesus spent weeks in the Judean wilderness, where he did not cut his hair or wash. That was his faith.
It is no coincidence that modern historians will never find the city of Nazareth. He was absent! Jesus is a Nazarene - this does not mean a resident of Nazareth (a city that did not exist). The Nazarene is a faith akin to the Jews.
Ferii are holidays in the ancient Roman calendar.
Well, but how! After all, we all come from the same Indo-European cauldron!
In German, fire is a holiday.
Dear Leo!
The dictionary of rarely used words on the page of Yuri Reinhardt does not exist by itself, but refers to his stories, memories of the Volunteer Army, poems and fairy tales. Moreover, this is not his work: we, the publishers and commentators, compiled the dictionary so that it would be easier for modern readers to perceive the works of Yuri Alexandrovich. Read better his works on his page, follow the links. The page also contains a biographical sketch of him.
As for Jesus the Nazarene, the nickname is precisely for the city of Nazareth. He had nothing to do with the Nazarenes. A veksha squirrel is still called in some dialects. Before the revolution, this name was quite common in the literary Russian language.
