Related also to Old English plēon (“to risk, endanger”). More at plight, pledge.The noun is from Middle English pleye, from Old English plæġ, plega, plæġa (“play, quick motion, movement, exercise; (athletic) sport, game; festivity, drama; battle; gear for games, an implement for a game; clapping with the hands, applause”), deverbative of plegian (“to play”); see above.

schizophrenia
[[English]]
ipa :/ˌskɪt.səˈfɹiː.ni.ə/[Etymology]
editFirst attested 1908, from New Latin schizophrenia, from German Schizophrenie, coined by Eugen Bleuler, from Ancient Greek σχίζω (skhízō, “to split”) + φρήν (phrḗn, “mind, heart, diaphragm”) + -ia.
[Noun]
editschizophrenia (countable and uncountable, plural schizophrenias)
1.(pathology) A psychiatric diagnosis denoting a persistent, often chronic, mental illness characterised by abnormal perception, thinking, behavior and emotion, often marked by delusions.
2.(informal, figuratively) Any condition in which disparate or mutually exclusive activities coexist; a lack of decision between options.
3.2006, Bertus Praeg, Ethiopia and Political Renaissance in Africa (page 213)
[…] one can understand how the cultural disorientation which beset the African Continent has confused Africa's political behaviour, creating a political schizophrenia that made nation-building impossible.
4.2012, James Lambert, “Beyond Hobson-Jobson: A new lexicography for Indian English”, in World Englishes[1], page 305:
Nevertheless, a certain amount of schizophrenia pertains to the study of World Englishes as New Englishes, for while new Englishes are regarded as valid varieties in their own right, the description and delineation of them in linguistic terms is conducted through the gaze of native-speaker norms.

editover- + haul.
[Noun]
editoverhaul (plural overhauls)
1.A major repair, renovation, or revision.
Coordinate terms: rebuild, remake, reboot
The engine required a complete overhaul to run properly.
2.1961 March, C.P. Boocock, “The organisation of Eastleigh Locomotive Works”, in Trains Illustrated, page 159:
One aim of the move [from Nine Elms] had been to speed up the overhaul of the company's locomotive stock and to reduce costs with more efficient workshop facilities, in what Dugald Drummond claimed to be "the most complete and up-to-date works owned by any railway company".
3.2013 June 28, Joris Luyendijk, “Our banks are out of control”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 3, page 21:
Seeing the British establishment struggle with the financial sector is like watching an alcoholic […]. Until 2008 there was denial over what finance had become. […] But the scandals kept coming, […]. A broad section of the political class now recognises the need for change but remains unable to see the necessity of a fundamental overhaul. Instead it offers fixes and patches.
4.(firefighting) The process after the fire appears extinguished in which the firefighters search the structure for signs of hot spots that may cause the structure to reignite. Often this includes the process of salvage under the blanket term, salvage and overhaul.

4.2014 March 9, Jacob Steinberg, “Wigan shock Manchester City in FA Cup again to reach semi-finals”, in The Guardian[1]:
Although they believe they can overhaul their 2-0 deficit, they cannot afford to be as lethargic as this at Camp Nou, and the time is surely approaching when Manuel Pellegrini's faith in Martín Demichelis wavers.
5.To pass, overtake, or travel past.
6.1967, William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, Logan's Run, May 1976 Bantam edition, →ISBN, page 109:
In theory there was a runner ahead of him who would pause to sleep. Who would falter and fall. Who would despair at the size of the desert. Because Logan did none of these he would overhaul the runner and kill him.

1.(chemistry, initialism) Limit of detection; the smallest concentration that can be detected using a specific method.
2.2005, Jack Cazes, Encyclopedia of Chromatography - Volume 2, →ISBN, page 1450:
The lowest response region in the spectrum is that which has the LOD as the upper bound. It is clear that if a response that is smaller than the response associated with the LOD is observed, the analytical result should be reported as "less than the LOD" or "not detected."
3.2011, Thomas P. Knepper & Frank T. Lange, Polyfluorinated Chemicals and Transformation Products, →ISBN, page 145:
PFOS exceeded the LOD in potatoes, canned vegetables, eggs, sugars, and preserves, with highest levels detected in potatoes (10 ng/g ww).
4.2016, Piotr Konieczka & Jacek Namiesnik, Quality Assurance and Quality Control in the Analytical Chemical Laboratory, →ISBN, page 145:
When calculating the LOD, one uses the determined S/N ratio for the investigated analytical procedure [2].
5.(initialism) Alternative form of lod
6.1998, Thomas D. Gelehrter, Francis S. Collins, & David Ginsburg, Principles of Medical Genetics, →ISBN, page 200:
In practice, the LOD score is computed over a wide range of values for 6.
7.2010, Andreas Ziegler & Inke R. König, A Statistical Approach to Genetic Epidemiology, →ISBN, page 158:
For historical reasons, the LOD score functions LOD(Θ) = log ʌ(Θ) is preferred in genetic epidemiologial applications over LR(Θ) = 2ln ʌ(Θ).
8.2005, Linda A. Ferrera, Body Mass Index: New Research, →ISBN, page 150:
One would expect that LOD (logarithm of odds) scores based on small sample sizes would be unstable and contribute to lack of replication.
9.(computer graphics, initialism) Level of detail.

12.2007, Cyril Brom, Ondřej Šerỹ, & Tomáš Poch, “Simulation Level of Detail for Virtual Humans”, in Intelligent Virtual Agents:
Graphical level of detail (LOD) is a set of techniques for coping with the issue of limited computational resources by reducing the graphical detail of the scene far from the observer. Simulation LOD reduces quality of the simulation at the places unseen. Contrary to graphical LOD, simulation LOD has been almost unstudied.
13.(initialism) Length of day.
14.1982, S. Ponsar, V. Dehant, R. Holme, D. Jault, A. Pais, & T. Van Hoolst, The Core and Fluctuations in the Earth's Rotation:
On very long time scale, tidal friction is responsible for a secular decrease in the Earth's rotation rate and thus for an increase in the length of day (LOD) (for more details, see for instance Brosche and Sṻndermann [1978]).

18.1996, Richard A. Gittins & Kirk L. Davies, The Military Commander and the Law, →ISBN, page 222:
Additionally, commanders should note that a LOD proceeding is neither a substitute for, nor a bar to, such disciplinary action as may be warrented.
19.2009, E. Kelly Taylor, America's Army and the Language of Grunts, →ISBN:
LOD investigations are usually a result of a soldier or other personnel being killed or injured, and the investigation is necessary to determine if the cause was in the line of duty, or if the actions that caused the casualties or injuries were a result of neglect or misconduct and not in the line of duty.
20.2015, Janelle B. Moore, Cheryl Lawhorne-Scott, & Don Philpott, The Wounded Warrior Handbook, →ISBN:

LOD (Linked Open Data) is an international endeavor to interlink structured data on the Web and create the Web of Data on a global level.
