[Tango-L] More on energia (III)

[Sergio Vandekier]

I consulted another French dictionary with the following result for 
synonysms of Energy:

animosity, action, activity, soul, fervor, passion, audacity, character, 
carburant, heat, heart, persistence, courage, desicion, determination, 
dynamism, efficacy, electricity, emulation, endurance,
entropie, firmity, strength, strength of the soul, hardiness, nerv, 
perseverance, authority, subjugation, power, punch, resolution, solidity, 
temerity, thermodynamics, tone, vehemence, virtu, life, vigor, violence, 
vitality, will.


énergie : acharnement, action, activité, âme, ardeur, audace, caractère, 
carburant, chaleur, coeur, constance, courage, cran, décision, 
détermination, dynamisme, efficacité, électricité, émulation, endurance, 
entêtement, entropie, fermeté, force, force d'âme, hardiesse, nerf, 
persévérance, poigne, puissance, punch, résolution, ressort, sève, solidité, 
témérité, thermodynamique, tonus, véhémence, verdeur, vertu, vie, vigueur, 
violence, vitalité, volonté.


***If i had to select any of the above meanings in reference to tango I 
would select:

Action, activity, soul, fervor, passion, character, heart, determination, 
dynamisme, power, punch, tone, vehemence, life, vigor, vitality.

I would use any of the above but not (in this case) the physics definition, 
which could be used if we were discussing the physics of motion in tango 
(for instance).

Antonymes : abattement, adynamie, affaissement, apathie, atonie, débilité, 
découragement, défaillance, faiblesse, indolence, inertie, lâcheté, 
langueur, mollesse, paresse, torpeur, veulerie


Then if you look for one meaning such as Acharnement you get:

acharnement : animosité, ardeur, aveuglement, bouillonnement, cruauté, 
effort, énergie, entêtement, excitation, fanatisme, férocité, frénésie, 
fureur, furie, haine, lutte, mal, obstination, opiniâtreté, persévérance, 
rage, ténacité.


Antonymes : abandon, indolence, mollesse, nonchalance, velléité
