Hardship
Hardship stands for:
- Distress, misery, suffering, crisis, inconvenience, grief, misfortune, grief, loss
- The term hardship is also an archaism and for a more stringent form of the dungeon, the augmentative formation of chambers that was common up until the 17th century, i.e. an increased negation of private living space. The hardship was the non-place in the prison, in which one could neither stand nor lie, but only crouch down. The word was completely out of date by 1801.
As an adjective it appears for the first time in Otfrid von Weißenburg's Georgslied , around 800 as "ungimah"; later in one of Georg von Gaal's collections of proverbs: "If you want to avoid hardship, stay under your roof" 1845. Also with Martin Opitz : "That something consists in unmade works" and in Hartmann von Aues Iwein and the lions , chapter 4: " He looks for struggle and hardship.// He asked me for it very urgently ".
In modern existentialist literature , the protagonist Mersault in Albert Camus ' Der Fremde ponders the hardship in detail.
