Greetings Sports Fans, Here we have a snippet on how the english language is rooted in various linguist interpretations and polyvocal tradition. Truly, I am but a dictionary root interpreting nerd, squeezing and zesting oranges and lemons otherwise known as words. This could be a way to ask how perception of language impacts lived experiences. My immediate reaction to a word like surrender conjures sacrifice and an emotional obligation; however, the roots of the word complete flip my initial perspective. Surrender : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google: (of an insured person) cancel (a life insurance policy) and receive back a proportion of the premiums paid cease resistance (in a sports contest) lose (a point, game, or advantage) abandon oneself entirely to (a powerful emotion or influence) Render : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google: deliver (a verdict or judgment) cause to be or become; make.** represent or depict artistically. perform (a piece) translate. process (the carcass of an animal) in order to extract proteins, fats, and other usable parts. a first coat of plaster applied to a brick or stone surface. COMPUTING process (an outline image) using color and shading in order to make it appear solid and three-dimensional.
