TAUTEN Meaning and
Definition
-
Tauten is a transitive verb meaning to make or become tight or tense, often referring to the tightening or stiffening of something that was previously loose or slack. When something is tautened, it becomes firm or rigid, reducing any sagging or looseness present.
In a literal sense, tauten may refer to the act of pulling or stretching something to remove any looseness or slackness, resulting in a more secure or tightly fixed position. For example, one might tauten a rope or wire to ensure it is securely attached or stretched tightly.
Figuratively, tauten can be used to express the action of making something more rigid or controlled. It can refer to making an argument or opinion more forceful or compelling by providing more evidence or logical reasoning, thereby removing any potential weaknesses or doubts. It can also depict the act of strengthening or invigorating one's resolve, determination, or discipline in order to accomplish a goal or withstand difficult circumstances.
Tauten implies the elimination of any laxity, slack, or uncertainty. It often denotes the improvement or reinforcement of the structural integrity, strength, or overall cohesiveness of an object, idea, or individual.
