Subject: extingencies Возникли проблемы с этим загадочным словом - extingency, и как я понял, не у меня одного.Контекст следующий: For Roman translators, the task of transferring a text from language to language could be perceived as an exercise in comparative stylistics, since they were freed from the extingencies of having to ‘make known’ either the form or the content per se, and consequently did not need to subordinate themselves to the frame of the original. И вот что говорят носители: Curious George: Can anybody define extingencies or extingency for me? Or tell me if they are even real words? I was writing a letter and started to use, "extingencies", then realized I don't quite know what it or, "extingency," mean, or if they are even words. A quick Google search suggests they are, but does little to provide a definition. My memory seems to think extingencies means something along the lines of "the difficulties that arise from a certain situation." Is that correct? Am I misspelling it? Один из вразумительных ответов: Tinge (tĭnj) tr.v. Hence the following: Tin´gent With the suffix "-cy", "tingency" would, therefore, mean the state or practice of having the power to tinge. "Mondrian in Paris mastered the art of Cubist tingency" - quidnunc kid. Adding the prefix "ex" (without, not, away from) we define "extingency" to be "lack of the quality of applying colour". "Thus being shown to be a brute of little thought or education, Chy's face turned white: shame's extingency prevailed o'er nature's usual pink hue". http://monkeyfilter.com/link.php/12629 Встречалось ли оно вам?
