DESCRY Meaning and
Definition
-
Descry is a transitive verb that refers to the act of sighting or catching sight of something or someone from a distance. It involves the act of observing or perceiving something that may not be easily noticeable or visible to the naked eye. When one attempts to descry something, they endeavor to make out or identify its presence, typically by scanning the surroundings or using some form of optical aid like binoculars or a telescope.
The term "descry" often conveys the idea of detecting or discerning something that is hidden, obscure, or concealed, as if it were obscured or blended into the background. It suggests the act of searching for or spotting specific details through careful scrutiny or examination. Descrying can also involve recognizing or noting something that is not immediately evident, whether due to distance, fog, darkness, or other aspects that might hinder the clear visibility of an object or subject.
Moreover, descry is also used figuratively, referring to the act of perceiving or deciphering something that is not physical in nature. In this sense, it can involve understanding or unraveling an idea, concept, or meaning that is difficult to grasp or comprehend. It implies a level of astuteness or perceptiveness in being able to identify or recognize that which may not be readily apparent to others.
Common Misspellings for DESCRY
Etymology of DESCRY
The word "descry" originates from Middle English "descrien", which can be traced back to Old French "descovrir" (to reveal, disclose) and ultimately to Latin "dis-" (opposite) and "cooperīre" (to cover). It literally means "to uncover" or "to catch sight of something distant or obscure". The word has evolved over time, and its current meaning is to perceive or glimpse something with difficulty or from a great distance.
