The word of the week: Sadist – Sadism

Who was the writer Marquis de Sade and what is his relationship with sadism

The word sadism is a word of universal acceptance (as is the word Masochism, see here) and is used to denote, initially, sexual perversion in which someone gets sexual satisfaction by causing mental or physical pain to his/her partner. By extension, the term is used beyond sexual perversion to denote pleasure, that one feels torturing another.

The term was coined after the French novelist Marquis de Sade, 1740-1814 (Donacien Alphonse Francois Comte de Sade – French.: Donatien Alphonse François Count of Sade). The word sadisme > sadism is witnessed for the first time 85, about, years since De Sade's death. The same one, around the time Schrenck-Notzing (1895/1956), suggested the Greek term "algolagnia", "algolagnia", to describe what is now characterized as sadism.

Those who accused De Sade too easily, they considered him abnormal and perverted. His defense, in any case, would support: "Sade was considered a great pornographer and at the same time a philosopher of libertarianism, an explorer of human limits. But carelessness, in his work, it is but a linguistic reality, nothing else. The real and the book are separated, and he emphatically attempts to emphasize this condition. "Yes", writes, "I am a prodigal, I admit it: I caught the,what can one conceive of indolence, but I certainly didn't do everything I set out to do, and I certainly never will. I'm a promiscuous, but I'm not a criminal or a murderer".

The word of the week: Square

What does the word square mean? (> catch > dish);

These are the days we live in, or some live, "square days". Once again, all those who believe that something should change are fighting in the squares. Their intention is ideal, their outcome will be judged by history. What does it mean?, Nevertheless, the word square; It is an essentialized feminine of the ancient adjective broad. The original expression was "street square" and defined the great (wide) village or city street, which usually, it was located in the center of the city and the commercial activities were carried out. Little by little, the word "street" disappeared from "street square" and only "square" remained.. The same happened with phrases: medical science > medicine, grammatical art > grammar

Ομόρριζα της λ. square is: the width, back, plane, Squares (wide surface), Plato (beginning. note. "he who has broad backs") etc.

Also interesting is the "journey" of L. square in Esperia: in Latin it was transferred as a deuteroclinic adjective dish > Italian: piazza, french: plat, Spanish: plaza (in Plaza de Cataluña they demonstrate, these days, the spanish "outraged"). We must not forget the Italianized, but of Greek origin, dish or its diminutive platter. The plate is the Italian version of plattus, and here it is presented in the narrow sense of "painting" (: flat plate)
