| Citazioni | PARTLY SPECIALIZED IDIOM. A great many verbs are no longer entirely transparent because they have become partly specialized. [...] "Land", for instance, was originally used in navigation to mean "disembark". Earlier in this century, it was transferred (along with many other navigational terms) to aeronautics - for airplanes putting down on land from the air. |
