Remember how, as a child, your mother put you in a corner with the words: “Think about your behavior!”. Often, modern civilization puts a person in such conditions under which he becomes dependent not only on various bad habits, but also on work, study, everyday affairs and worries … And now he simply cannot stop and think, even if he is very tired. So, it's time to go to the club to relax, unwind, tidy up your body or even enrich yourself spiritually.
What is a club
In general, the word club appeared long before the opening of the first club establishment. And if you look into sources such as Dahl's or Ozhegov's dictionary, then, in addition to the modern meaning, they also describe the old Russian definition of the word.
A club is a spherical thing, a round body, coiled, prefabricated, composite. Examples: puff of smoke, puff of steam, puff of wood, ball of thread
Despite the fact that the word "club" in the modern sense came from the English "club", it is worth taking a closer lookand to the original Russian version. After all, if you think about it, the etymology of the old word "club" is quite similar to the modern concept. First, let's look at what the word today means.
A club is a place where people meet who are united on some basis. So, people can be united by common interests, nationality, professional characteristics
And now let's remember one of the forms of club activity, such as a "circle". You can also cite as an example such combinations as “team of a hockey club”, “composition of a football club” and a lot of other examples that combine the old Russian word “club” and the modern “club” that came from the West.
