The article reveals the meaning of the word "sky".

Origin, etymology

Often the word "heaven" is associated with "heaven" and they are considered very similar. The etymological dictionary of the Russian language indicates that both words came from one common word - the Latin nebula ("nebula, haze, cloud"), which was formed from the Proto-Indo-European nebh.

There is also a version that "heaven" and "heaven" come from the words "there are no demons." Thus, it is a place where there are no demons and evil.

Meaning of the word

So, the sky is the space above the earth's surface, as well as any astronomical objects. Simply put, it is a panorama, a view that can be seen when looking from the earth towards space. The view of the skies depends on various factors: the time of day, the weather, and what season it is outside. Cloudless clear skies are blue, and at night they appear almost black. As the sun approaches sunset or sunrise, areas of yellow, red, purple and other shades appear. It should also be noted that if you look at the clouds from a plane flying at high altitude, their appearance will be different from what we wouldseen if they were looking at them from the ground.

The word has other meanings. One of them is related to religion, from which we get the following definition. Heaven is a place, a world invisible to people, where God, saints and angels are; this is where heaven is. In Russian, when it comes to belief, the word is capitalized. For example, in the Bible.

Also, the encyclopedic dictionary says that the sky is a partition that separates the oral and nasal cavities. But in this case, it is more correct to write and say not “sky”, but “sky”. The soft and hard palate are part of the articulatory apparatus and are involved in the pronunciation of sounds.

There is also an obsolete meaning of this word, which is also associated with faith. The dictionary of Tatyana Fedorovna Efremova explains that the sky is divine forces, providence. The very term "providence" denotes the action of a higher power, that is, God, aimed at creating the greatest good (according to the dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron).

Thus, this word is characterized by ambiguity, which can be said about most Russian words.
