Fashionistas of the mid-twentieth century finally had the opportunity to get curls, even if their hair was naturally straight. "Chic!" - as Ellochka the cannibal would say. Women have always dreamed of changing their appearance. Curls add volume to the hair, creating a feminine and cute look. From the time of the ancient Greeks and up to the twentieth century, women made great sacrifices for the sake of fluffy curls. They slept on hard metal or wooden sticks (they were called curlers), knitted flagella-papilots from strands. And finally, the household chemical industry has pleased the beauties with a breakthrough in the field of hair care. The procedure was called the magical transformation of straight curls into curly permanents. While the hair did not grow back, they retained this property without additional styling with tongs. This permanent state of hair has become synonymous with perms. And in what other cases can this combination of words be used? What are its synonyms and antonyms?
Etymology of the term
Like many other words from the field of science, the term "permanent state" came to us from the Latin language, acquiring Russian suffixes and endings. Many researchersthey even tend to believe that the root of the term is of ancient Aryan origin - men in the Proto-Indo-European dialect means "to stay." And the Latin verb permanere was formed from the merger of two words: "per" (for, through) and "manēre" (to last). Thus, it is not difficult to guess what “permanently” means. This epithet is given to something that lasts quite a long time, a significant period, almost an eternity. But still there is a nuance. Long does not mean forever, and this is the difference between the Latin words "permanent" and "aeterno", "perpetuum". The last two terms define something truly permanent: in scholasticism, for example, God.
Instances in the beauty industry
Regarding what is it customary to use this term? We have already mentioned perm. Hair stays curly until it grows back. There are also permanent and temporary tattoos. The first is preserved for at least several years, because a dye is injected under the skin. A temporary tattoo is just a henna pattern, which is washed off after two weeks. In this vein, it becomes clear what "permanent makeup" means. As in a tattoo, a dye (highly dispersed pigment) is injected into the upper layer of the epidermis. But at the same time, not a drawing is created, but an imitation of ordinary makeup. With him you can even in the sauna, even in the bath. Cry in three eyes - makeup will not float. However, such a dye burns out in the sun, therefore, it is not eternal. However, chemists are now working on finding a pigment that would be resistant tothe influence of the spring environment, would not be rejected and would not be absorbed in the body.
The revolution has a beginning…
The term "permanent state" is used not only in chemistry or cosmetology. He was adopted by such a serious science as political science. Even the classics of Marxism put forward the theory of a constant, permanent revolution. Once started in one of the underdeveloped peripheral countries of the world, it will not subside until all the proletarians on the globe have overthrown the exploiting classes. Vladimir Lenin also supported the theory. He supplemented it with the thesis that in Russia this bourgeois-democratic revolution would develop into a socialist revolution. Leon Trotsky was a prominent supporter of this theory of the victorious march of the specter of communism across the planet. It was shared not only by Marxist theorists (Ernest Mandel, Livio Maitan, Joseph Hansen and Michael Levy), but also by Western social democrats.
Term in economics, psychology, agriculture
The permanent state happens not only among the revolutionary-minded masses, but also in a single individual. Constant nervous tension, an overabundance of information, insufficient sleep plunge a person into a state of stress. Sometimes this mood is so long-lasting that psychologists call it permanent. And if a single release of adrenaline into the blood is even favorable for the body, then life in constant stress leads to depression and nervous diseases. In the field of economics, the term is used in the concept"permanent costs". These are finances that go to the wages of workers, taxes, rent of space, depreciation of equipment. That is, these are expenses that occur regularly. Permanent agriculture is a relatively new type of farming. It consists in planning developed lands in such a way as not to deplete the ecosystem, but to maintain balance in it, that is, to use nature for a long time.
Synonyms and antonyms
Well, in colloquial speech, what is a "permanent state"? It is something incessant, unceasing, permanent, ongoing. We can say that during the years of the Soviet Union there was a permanent deficit. The same epithet can be given to the constant lack of money. Or an alcoholic who is permanently drunk. But you can’t say the same about a chronic illness - long periods of remission exclude permanence. Synonyms for this term are also the words "methodical", "uninterrupted", "continuous", "infinite", "persistent" and "constant". Whereas the antonyms of "permanence" are "occasionally", "sometimes", "at times", "occasionally".
