01/06/2023 - Vocal n° 60 - 44:10 : Expression - Difference etymology / meaning - putting it into practice

(Q - ??: Well, no one anymore, I'm taking advantage of it, I have a question, the expression has already been said eh Michel, I'm sorry but I want some clarification if you can please, we were talking about its etymology, its meaning, that's what we have to look for, eh, it's its etymology, because of what it is, I shouldn't go into delusions, which. going to be important is to understand this etymology sound please.)

MB: What are we talking about, expression? Yes that's it. We don't care about the etymology of the expression, why are you looking for the etymology?

(Q - ??: I had a 2 p.m. voice on an expression and I understood that it was interesting to understand its meaning, like the refrigerator, like Mr....)

MB: Acceptance and etymology are 2 different things. Absolutely not comparable. The meaning is how we understand it, there can be a familiar meaning, an original meaning, a twisted meaning because we use it in this or that circumstance, etc., the meaning is how you use this term, what meaning you give to it. The etymology is something completely different, it's where this word comes from, how it was created, where it came from and we know very well that, particularly in the French language, but not only, there are words whose etymology comes from a certain logic and which today have a completely different meaning. So a completely different meaning. So there you have it, that's why I say it, it's not at all to finesse, it's simply to warn you about etymological research which is not appropriate. The meaning is there is an expression, how you understand it and how you put it into practice and in a way, what do you do with it? That's a good answer, it doesn't seem like it, eh.

(Q - ??: That's an interesting clarification. I also thought we should be interested in the etymology.)

MB: If we talk about etymology, we will focus on the original meaning of the term, why it was created, how it was created and what its original meaning was, we are in etymology. When we are in the acceptance, frankly, today there are things which, expressions which we commonly use well I don't necessarily have any which come to mind but which we know very well that Originally it meant something completely different.
