COUNTERPLOTTED Meaning and Definition

1. Counterplotted is an adjective that denotes the act or process of devising a scheme or plan in opposition or contradiction to an existing plot or plan, often with the aim of subverting or undermining its intentions or goals. The term is derived from the combination of two words: "counter" meaning against or opposite, and "plotted" which refers to the act of creating a deliberate plan.

   When someone counterplots, they engage in strategic thinking to develop a scheme that opposes or contradicts another plan. This usually occurs when individuals or groups have differing interests, objectives, or viewpoints, and one party wishes to thwart the efforts of another. Counterplotting is frequently employed in fictional works, such as novels or movies, where characters attempt to outsmart or deceive one another through complex plot twists and turns.

   The term counterplotting can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or scenario where someone responds to an existing plan or plot with their own alternative approach. In this sense, it refers to the act of developing a strategic response or solution that challenges or counters the original plan.

   Overall, counterplotted describes the deliberate and strategic act of devising a scheme or plan that opposes or contradicts an existing plot or plan, often with the aim of undermining its intentions or goals.

Etymology of COUNTERPLOTTED

The word "counterplotted" is derived from two separate components: "counter" and "plotted".

The prefix "counter-" comes from Middle English "countre", which is of Old French origin. It originally meant "against" or "in opposition to". Over time, it developed into a prefix indicating opposition or contrary action. So, in the case of "counterplotted", the "counter-" part suggests opposing or conflicting plots or schemes.

The term "plotted" is the past tense of the verb "plot". "Plot" comes from Middle English "plotten", which is of Dutch origin. It originally meant to mark or trace a line or outline. By extension, it also came to mean devising a plan or scheme, especially a secret or conspiratorial one.

Therefore, "counterplotted" refers to the act of opposing or conflicting schemes or plans.
