In this section, Lifehacker finds out the meanings of not the simplest words and tells where they came from.
History
The word comes from the term "partiality", which means a bias towards something or the preference of one person over another. Thus, only such a judgment or decision that was not based on personal interests could be called impartial.
A common misconception
Many people think that "hard-hitting" means "tough", "unpleasant", "offensive". This is a speech error - the word has the only meaning described above.
Usage examples
- "Andras Blashkovich was impartial and not afraid of the powerful priest." Rat-Veg Istvan, "The Comedy of the Book".
- "We have retained only the barograph - the only hard-hitting witness of how long we flew, at what altitudes, at what speed, how the balloon was controlled." Nikolay Shpanov, The Red Stone.
- "In any case, he managed to create in us an atmosphere of sincerity and impartial telling the truth to each other, and this alone was already very important." Victor Astafiev, The Sighted Staff.
