Club: it's for everyone!

Remember, as a child, my mother put in the corner with the words: "Think about your behavior!". Often, modern civilization puts a person in such conditions, under which he becomes dependent not only on various bad habits, but also on work, study, daily affairs and worries ... And now he simply can not stop and think, even if he is very tired. So, it's time to go to the club to relax, unwind, put your body in order or even spiritually enrich itself.

What is a club?

In general, the word club appeared long before the opening of the first club institution. And if you look at sources such as the dictionary of Dahl or Ozhegov, then, in addition to the modern meaning, they describe the Old Russian definition of the word.

• A club is a globular thing, a round body, rolled up, prefabricated, composite. Examples: clouds of smoke, steam clubs, a tree club, a tangle of threads.

In spite of the fact that the word "club" in the modern sense has occurred all the same from the English "club", it is worth taking a closer look at the primordially Russian version. After all, if you think about it, the etymology of the old word "club" is quite similar to the modern concept. First, let's look at what the word means today.

• A club is a place where people meet, united on some basis. So, people can combine common interests, national identity, professional characteristics.

And now let's remember one of the forms of club activities, such as "circle". And we can also cite such combinations as the "hockey club team", "football club" and many other examples that combine the ancient Russian word "club" and modern "club" that came from the west.
