Origin of the expression

We have analyzed the meaning of the phraseological unit “at full blast”. Surely the reader wants to know where he came from in our speech.

Although today the expression is in common use, and it can be used to characterize any fast movement - on foot, running, in a car, in a cart, on an aircraft or water transport, its first meaning was much narrower. He was only associated with traveling on horseback.

So why "all the way"? It is worth remembering another lesser-known phraseological unit - “all the front legs.” And he is also connected with the horse. When running fast, the animal throws its front legs high and powerfully. And if we remember the anatomy, we will notice that they are connected with the shoulder blades - areas on the back.

Surely the rider has noticed how quickly the horse’s shoulder blades move while galloping. Then these observations formed the basis of such an expression known today.

Sentences with the phraseological unit "all blades"

Let's look at a few examples of the use of the phrase in modern everyday life:

  1. “Realizing that I had overslept, I rushed to work as fast as I could. How did I manage not to hear a single alarm clock?”
  2. “The finish line clearly loomed before my eyes. The athlete, straining his last strength, decided to make the final throw - he ran, as they say, at full speed.”
  3. “They almost simultaneously heard an incomprehensible noise behind the bushes. Without having time to come to their senses, the friends, as if on command, rushed out of the forest at full speed.”
  4. “It was getting dark quickly. Realizing that soon it would be impossible to see anything, Pavel drove his horse at full speed towards the village.”

Conclusion.

Any dictionary is an educational work. You just need to develop the skills to consult dictionaries and read them with the greatest benefit for yourself. I. Khalturin wrote: “Is it really necessary to collect words? What's the point? Words are not berries, not mushrooms, they don’t grow in the forest, you can’t put them in a basket”...and it’s true, words don’t grow in the forest. But they live among the people, in different parts and regions of our great land, they are born and die, they have parents and children.

I looked at the word FIRE in the most general sense: “the connection between the word and life, which an explanatory dictionary will help us discover.” I wanted to show that a dictionary is a means of understanding the world. I used all types of dictionaries in my work and came to the following conclusion:

The word fire has always been part of the active vocabulary of the Russian language and still attracts attention. It is often found in folklore and fiction, but this word is rarely present in the names of newspapers and magazines. The word fire is polysemantic, has “friends” - synonyms and “enemies” - antonyms. I think it’s useful to at least sometimes immerse yourself in the history of a word, to trace its life.

Of the 25 (100%) students surveyed, 23 (92%) know that the word FIRE has several meanings, 2 (8%) students know one meaning.

Conclusion.

If we again recall the words of Zabolotsky: “Under the surface of every word a bottomless darkness stirs, then we can continue his thought with the words of Anna Akhmatova:

And that abyss beckons and pulls,

And you will never find the bottom.

And he will never get tired of talking

Its empty silence

And I would like to finish my work with a poem by Vladimir Soloukhin.

When you want to say a word,

My friend, think about it - don’t rush.

It can be harsh

It was born from the warmth of the soul.

It flutters like a lark,

Then he sings with mourning copper.

Until you weigh the word yourself

Don't let him fly.

You can add joy to them

And poison people's joy.

It can melt ice

And crush the stone into crumbs.

It will give or rob,

Maybe inadvertently, maybe jokingly.

Think about how not to hurt them

The one who listens to you.

Every person has heard the expression “Prometheus’s Fire,” but not everyone knows what it means and where it came from.

Knowledge of such an expression speaks of a person’s high culture, study of mythology, and erudition. Therefore, to fully understand the meaning of the phraseological unit “Promethean fire”, you need to remember the content of the myth and analyze the events of the beautiful story about the hero and the gods who punished him.

Who is Prometheus?

Promethean fire (or Promethean fire) is a phrase whose roots go back to ancient Greek mythology. According to myth, Prometheus was a hero who helped the supreme god Zeus, but at the same time served ordinary people. He helped people learn to read, write, build ships and organize their lives.

The Myth of Prometheus

In order to make life easier for people, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and took it to ordinary people. This plot of the myth can be viewed not only literally, but also allegorically. That is, fire can symbolize the light of knowledge, which dispels fears, self-doubt and humility in the face of unknown future events. Therefore, the meaning of the phraseological unit “Promethean fire” is closely related to intellectual knowledge and creativity.

The punishment for Prometheus was very severe: Zeus ordered Prometheus to be chained to a rock, to which an eagle would fly every day to peck at Prometheus’s liver, which grew back again and again. The torture was endless, and it could only be stopped by the recognition of Prometheus, who would become the mother for the son of Zeus, capable of overthrowing his mighty father.

People who were grateful to Prometheus were worried about their hero, but could not help him. Only Hercules was able to free Prometheus and kill the eagle.

Phraseologism

The meaning of the phraseological unit “Promethean fire” is the desire to achieve high noble goals aimed at the benefit of other people through self-sacrifice. Based on the fact that Prometheus helped people develop science and art, the phrase is applied primarily to activities in these areas of life.

In a simplified sense, the meaning of the phraseological unit “Promethean fire” is the courage and nobility of a person. This can be said about a person who strives to work to educate society, supports creative aspirations, spending his time and energy on this to the detriment of his own success.

Today this expression is not used often. But the beauty of the myth and the deep meaning of the phrase are worth keeping it in your vocabulary and using it when appropriate in everyday life.
