2022: Creating a Lexicon of Future
N is for Nuance
Feb 22, 2022
A very slight difference in meaning, feeling, tone, or color.
The use or awareness of subtle shades of meaning or feeling; especially, with references to artistic expressions or performances.
A subtle deviation in meanings, opinions, or attitudes; hence, a slight degree of perceivable variations in anything apparent to the mind.
Etymology: from French nuance, “slight difference, shade of color” (so called with reference to the dissimilar colors of the clouds); from nuer, “to shade”; from nue, “cloud”, from Gallo-Romance nuba; from Latin nubes, “cloud”; related to obnubere, “to veil”. ~ Wordinfo.info
