Sailing is a concept with multiple uses. It may be the object that has a wick inside, covered with a solid type fuel (such as paraffin or wax ). The candles are lit to provide luminosity. For example: "The power went out and I can't find the candles!" , "The fire occurred because the woman left her house and left a lit candle that fell on a table with a tablecloth" , "Tonight we will have a romantic dinner, by candlelight . " Although candles are used primarily to give a touch of intimacy and romanticism to a date, we cannot ignore that they are also widely used in magic rituals. Specifically, these are used one or the other depending on their color, since each one is associated with an element or objective: -White candles represent femininity, symbolize purity and serve to increase what is the strength of the spirit . -The yellow of these elements is associated with power, money and work. -Red candles, on the other hand, are associated with

BLADDER

Latin is the language from which the term bladder comes, etymologically speaking, which we are now going to analyze in depth. In this sense, we can say that it emanates from the word vesica , which in turn is based on a root of Indo-European origin. The bladder is the organ that receives urine from the ureters and expels it out of the body through the urethra. This muscular and membranous organ is part of the urinary system of all mammals and acts as a kind of bag to store the urine produced by the kidneys. The normal physiological capacity of the bladder ranges from 300 to 350 cubic centimeters. From this amount, the desire to urinate arises. When there is retention of urine , the capacity can increase to about 3 liters while, in cases of cystitis , it barely reaches 50 cubic centimeters. The bladder wall is made up of three layers: the serous layer (formed by the parietal peritoneum), the muscular layer (with a smooth muscle that contracts during the expulsion of ur

OLD AGE

The first thing that we are going to do before entering fully into the analysis of the word old age is to determine its etymological origin. Investigating we discovered that it is found in Latin and more specifically in the word vetus , which can be translated as “old”. Old age is the quality of old (someone of advanced age or something old and that is not new or recent). Old age refers to senescence or senile age . Although there is no exact age at which it can be considered as the beginning of old age, it is often said that a person is old when they exceed 70 years of life . Old age is also linked to the social category known as third age . The members of this group are usually retired (that is, they no longer work and are therefore not part of the economically active population) and, in many cases, have become grandparents . October 1 is when the International Day of the Third Age is celebrated around the world, a state that for centuries has worried and elicited

VEHICLE

A vehicle is a machine that allows you to move from one place to another. Vehicles can not only transport people , but also animals, plants and any type of object. Etymologically speaking, we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin, specifically from "vehiculum", which can be translated as "means of transport". However, this word in turn is the result of the sum of two clearly differentiated parts: the verb "vehere", which is synonymous with "transport", and the suffix "-culum", which is used to indicate an instrument. For example: “We need a vehicle to take the boxes to Pablo's house” , “The criminals were traveling in a dark-colored vehicle, which they parked two blocks from the place” , “The projectile hit a vehicle that was passing near the stadium ” . The cars , the trucks , the trucks , the ATVs and motorcycles are motor vehicles: mobilizing for action of a motor that works with any type of fue

For example: "The young man vehemently defended his father, tired of the accusations" , "The Chilean midfielder hit the ball vehemently and scored the third goal for his team" , "I need a manager who vehemently disseminates the values ​​of this company among employees ” . Vehemence can appear in different settings. A person may speak vehemently, using a raised tone of voice or shouting with the intention of emphasizing their ideas or imposing themselves on others in an argument. Suppose a man is angry with his 13-year-old son because he found him smoking despite the fact that he had forbidden such action, explaining the damage that this habit generates. The father vehemently condemns the boy's behavior, details all the negative consequences that smoking can have on his heal

VEGETARIAN

The Latin word vegetarian came to our language as a vegetarian . It is an adjective that refers to something related to vegetarianism or to one who is adept at this food doctrine. Vegetarianism consists in not ingesting meat of any kind (beef, pork, chicken, fish, etc.): therefore, it limits the diet to foods of plant origin. Vegetarian individuals also tend to protect animals in other contexts (for example, rejecting the use of hides and skins for making clothing). Historians claim that vegetarianism already existed several centuries before Christ . Many people, at that time, were vegetarians since they adhered to the postulates of philosophers and religious that condemned all kinds of violence , including those that cause the death of animals to turn them into objects of consumption. After a time when it lost popularity, vegetarianism re-emerged in the 19th century . At present, there are several branches of vegetarianism according to how strict the diet is . In ge

VEGETABLE

The first thing we are going to do is proceed to determine the etymological origin of the term vegetable. In this case, we find that with the fact that it emanates from a Latin word: vegetare , which can be translated as "grow". A vegetable is an organic being that grows and has life although it does not change its place by voluntary impulse . Vegetables, in fact, lack a locomotor system. The term is also used to name everything belonging to or related to plants . Vegetables can synthesize their own food through photosynthesis. They are made up of multicellular organisms (with eukaryotic cells ) and can measure from a few centimeters (like moss) to several meters high (like certain trees). The concept is little used in the scientific field, where it is preferred to speak of plants (a taxon studied by botany, which is a branch of biology ). The use of the notion of vegetable is limited to food and to nutrition or gastronomy. The plant foods include the vegeta
