ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО VIRAGO
мегера
Вираго - женщина, которая демонстрирует образцовые и героические качества. Слово происходит от латинского слова vir, что означает «человек», к которому добавлен суффикс -ago, суффикс, который эффективно переводит слово в женское. Слово virago почти всегда ассоциировалось с культурной гендерной трансгрессией. Вираго, независимо от совершенства, по-прежнему определялся ее полом. Там записаны случаи боевых сражений висрасов, в мужской одежде или получении пострига. Слово virago также можно использовать пренебрежительно, подразумевая, что virago не было превосходным или героическим, но вместо этого нарушало культурные нормы. Таким образом, вираго присоединился к уничижителям, таким как termagant, «mannish», «амазонки» и землеройке, чтобы унизить женщин, которые действовали агрессивно или как мужчины.
