Modern Students met in classical literature, the word "dishes", ask what it is.This lexical unit almost completely out of use, sometimes even staying in fairy tales and epics.So "dishes" - it's all about?
definition and synonyms
dishes in the old days was called food meal that brings people power, gave them life.Now this word is obsolete.He has a lot of synonyms, some of which also have long found only in writing.Among them: the poison brashno, prispeshnoe wailing hedgehog.There are also more familiar options: edibles, food, dish, dish, edible, food.The most versatile and stylistically neutral in this case will be the last word.
meaning of the word "dishes" are usually still involves an exquisite meal, rather than the usual daily food.So perhaps that's why the word most often be found in the description of feasts, weddings and other celebrations.
Spelling and orthoepy
When writing essays and dictations quite common unfortunate mistake - the students are inserted after "I" letter "c".Some even says the word in this way.However, given the etymology easy to understand, that no "in" at the start is not.But as in modern Russian single-root words from this lexical unit no, it is not obvious.
Incidentally, dishes - it is the plural form.But it is easy to guess that this is how the word is used more often.After all, "pudding" - is just one tasty dish, and what a holiday complete without a rich selection of dishes?Even well-established term "dishes on the table" - in the plural - says that the celebrations were carried out in a big way.
term history
believed that this word comes from the verb "yasti" - to eat, which was transformed into a modern "is."In some Slavic languages are still preserved lexical items related to the term "dishes", and, as a rule, they are all somehow related to the process of supply.
However, apart from the problem of saturation of the physical process of the meal should bring a certain pleasure from the taste of food.And, perhaps, "dishes" - a word which fully reflects the attitude of our ancestors to the food.
Ever since the days of paganism was thought that the common meal brings people to the point that they could consider each other family.The laws of hospitality allows visitors to dine in the house, count on almost any protection and help from the owners.Instead, the man himself, so warmly received, no longer dare to inflict evil family.So the custom of prescribing offer guests with bread and salt - it is literally a peace treaty between them and the owners.Therefore, to give up a treat it was not accepted, and so far it is considered impolite.
Now the old laws of hospitality practically do not work, and magnificent feasts
almost no one satisfied.The food is plentiful and reverent attitude towards it gradually disappears.Food is no longer a symbol of prosperity, so to replace the old words come others, reflecting this new order.
Eating modern language
in the literature of our time this word is practically nonexistent, except in historical novels for the transmission of the atmosphere and in the tales that adults still read to their children, as well as in proverbs andsayings.Now "dishes" - is an obsolete term, which came to replace the more neutral words from an extensive list of synonyms mentioned earlier.But before he goes away into oblivion.For example, this word was chosen to transfer title of the book by the French writer Andre Gide Nourritures terrestres (1897).So its official name in Russian - "Viands earth."
