[I] could not without much grief obſerve how frequently both gentlemen and ladies are at a loſs for queſtions, anſwers, replies, and rejoinders. However, my concern was much abated, when I found that theſe defects were not occaſioned by any want of materials, but becauſe thoſe materials were not in every hand. For inſtance, one lady can give an anſwer better than aſk a queſtion: one gentleman is happy at a reply; another excels in a rejoinder: one can revive a languiſhing converſation by a ſudden ſurpriſing ſentence; another is more dextrous in ſeconding; a third can fill the gap with laughing, or commending what has been ſaid. Thus freſh hints may be ſtarted, and the ball of the diſcourſe kept up.

macabre
[[English]]
ipa :/məˈkɑːbɹə/[Adjective]
editmacabre (comparative more macabre, superlative most macabre)
1.Representing or personifying death.
2.1941, George C. Booth, Mexico's School-made Society, page 106
There are four fundamental figures. One is a man measuring and comparing his world […] In front of him is a macabre figure, a cadaver ready to be dissected. This symbolizes man serving mankind. The third figure is the scientist, the man who makes use of the information gathered in the first two fields of mensurable science.
3.Obsessed with death or the gruesome.
4.1993, Theodore Ziolkowski, "Wagner's Parsifal between Mystery and Mummery", in Werner Sollors (ed.), The Return of Thematic Criticism, pages 274-275
Indeed, in the 1854 draft of Tristan he planned to have Parzival visit the dying knight, and both operas display the same macabre obsession with bloody gore and festering wounds.
5.Ghastly, shocking, terrifying.
6.1927 [1938], H. P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature, Introduction
The appeal of the spectrally macabre is generally narrow because it demands from the reader a certain degree of imagination and a capacity for detachment from every-day life.
Synonyms: ghastly, horrifying, shocking, terrifying
[Anagrams]
edit
- carbeam
[Etymology]
editBorrowed from French macabre, whose etymology is uncertain.[1]Most commonly believed to be from corruption of the biblical name Maccabees; compare French danse macabre, presumably from Latin Chorea Machabaeorum.Possibly from Spanish macabro, from Arabic مَقَابِر (maqābir, “tombs, cemeteries”), plural of مَقْبَرَة (maqbara) or مَقْبُرَة (maqbura) or of مَقْبَر (maqbar), but the Arabic etymology is rejected by Romance linguists.Possibly from Amharic መቃብር (maqaber, “grave”), but this etymology remains rejected by most linguists.
