[1] subtext
(source)
정확히 어디서 발견한 단어인지 기억은 안나는데 외국 유튜브 영상 보다가 발견한 것으로 추정.
(definition)
n. a meaning that is not expressly stated but can be inferred
"Subtext" refers to the underlying or implicit meaning in communication that may not be explicitly expressed. It involves the unspoken or hidden messages, ideas, or emotions that can be inferred from the context, tone, or subcontext of a conversation, piece of writing, or other forms of communication.
(subtext vs metaphor)
In essence, subtext is about the hidden or implicit meanings beneath the surface of a text or communication, while a metaphor is a specific kind of expression that involves making a direct comparison between two unrelated things to highlight a similarity. Subtext is more about what is implied, while a metaphor is about making a vivid comparison for rhetorical effect.
(examples)
1) The subtext of the teacher's encouraging smile reassured the students that they were on the right track with their project.
2) The political subtext of her novel is a criticism of government interference in individual lives.
3) When Jake said he was "fine," the subtext in his tired eyes suggested he might be struggling with something.
4) Within the discourse of the meeting, the tacit subtext articulated by the executive underscored the imperative of synergistic collaboration among the team members.

[2] hitch

과외학생 영어과외 해주다가 발견한 단어. 처음 보는 단어였음.

(examples)
1) The presentation went smoothly without a hitch.
2) We encountered a hitch in our plans when the equipment malfunctioned.
3) We planned the event meticulously, but a last-minute technical hitch caused a delay in the schedule.
(hitch vs delay)
a "hitch" is typically a smaller and more temporary problem, while a "delay" suggests a more extended period of slowing down or postponement.
(comment)
'hitch'는 많은 뜻이 있지만 여기서는 "문제, 장애"와 같은 무언가를 지체시키는 문제/장애를 나타내는 상황만 살펴봤다. 'hitch'와 'delay'의 정확한 차이점이 궁금해서 찾아보니, hitch는 더 작고 임시적인 문제/장애를 나타내고 delay는 조금 더 시간이 걸리고 지체되는 문제/장애를 뜻한다!
정리해보면 hitch는 상황을 잠깐 지체하게 만드는 문제/장애고 금방 해결할 수 있을 때 쓰는 어휘다. 추가로 '히치하이킹'에 쓰이는 단어가 바로 'hitch'다! '편승하다, 얻어타다'의 뜻도 가지고 있고 이것 말고도 다양한 뜻이 있는 어휘!
[3] abbreviate
(source)
영상 볼 때 발견한 어휘. 정확히 어떤 영상에서 찾았는지는 기억이 나지 않는다.
(definition)
v. shorten
v. reduce in scope while retaining essential elements
"abbreviate" involves creating a concise representation of something without losing its fundamental meaning.
(synonym)
shorten, condense, abridge, contract, reduce, cut, trim
(abbreviate vs summarize)
"abbreviate" is often associated with shortening terms or expressions, while "summarize" is more generally related to presenting the main points or essence of a larger piece of information in a shortened form. "Abbreviate" may involve shortening specific terms, while "summarize" focuses on the broader idea of condensing information.
(examples)
1) The term "etc." is abbreviated for "et cetera," indicating there are additional items not listed.
2) To save space, the lengthy document was abbreviated for easier reference.
3) In scientific writing, certain chemical compounds are often abbreviated to simplify communication.
(comment)
네이버 사전에서는 "(단어,구 등을) 줄여쓰다, 축약하다"로 나와 있다. 조금 더 디테일을 추가해서 설명하면, 단어/구문/텍스트를 줄이고 축약하여 핵심 혹은 본래의 의미를 남겨두는 행위를 "abbreviate"로 나타낸다. summarize랑 비교해서 생각해보면 abbreviate는 특정 단어,구를 축약하고 줄여쓰는 뉘앙스라면 abbreviate는 생각이나 정보를 요약하고 정리하는 뉘앙스다.
[4] tacit
(source)
정확히 기억이 나지 않는다.
(definition)
a. implied by or inferred from actions or statements
"tacit" is used to describe unspoken, implicit, or understood elements that are not expressed openly but are inferred or acknowledged in other ways.
(examples)
1) Their efficient teamwork was built on a tacit understanding of each team member's strengths and weaknesses.
2) A tacit acknowledgment of the mistake was visible in her expression.
3) The decision received tacit approval from the group.
(comment)
처음에 단어 tacit을 봤을 때는 품사가 명사이지 않을까 생각했다. 아마 이솝의 대표적인 향들 중 하나의 이름이 '테싯'이여서 이런 생각을 가지지 않았나 싶다. 그리고 이 단어는 '부정적인' 뉘앙스를 가지지 않았을까 하는 생각을 했다. 네이버 사전에 등록된 tacit의 뜻은 '암묵적인, 무언의'으로 나와있다보니 뭔가 비밀스럽고, 은밀하다는 뉘앙스를 가지고 있지 않을까 하는 생각때문이다.
하지만! 예문들을 살펴보니 tacit은 부정적인 뉘앙스를 내포하는 단어가 아니고 눈에 보이지 않는 암묵적이고 무언의 제스쳐/행위를 나타낼 때 쓸 수 있는 형용사다.
[5] underscore
(source)
어디서 찾은 문장인지 기억이 나지 않는다.
(definition)
v. give extra weight to (a communication)
v. draw a line or lines underneath to call attention to
n. a line drawn underneath (especially under written matter)
(underscore vs highlight)
"underscore" tends to be more specific in emphasizing a point with supporting evidence, while "highlight" is a broader term that can refer to making anything more noticeable, not necessarily with additional evidence or examples.
(examples)
1) The professor used data from recent studies to underscore the significance of climate change.
2) The sudden increase in customer complaints underscores the need for quality control improvements.
3) During the presentation, he strategically used visuals to underscore key points and enhance audience understanding.
(comment)
underscore와 highlight의 차이점이 궁금해서 찾아보니, underscore은 추가정인 정보/예시를 들어서 강조하고 싶을 때 사용하고, highlight는 그냥 강조할 때 쓰이는 어휘다. highlight가 조금 더 보편적으로 "강조하다"를 표현하고 싶을 때 쓰는 어휘인 것이다!
"subtext, hitch, abbreviate, tacit, underscore", 이 5개의 단어를 하나의 맥락으로 묶을 수 있는 문장은 아래와 같다.
Technical hitch led speaker abbreviate speech draft, underscoring on delivery tacit subtext of topic.
