Among the words very popular in the Middle Ages and out of circulation, you can find those that, with just a slight change in meaning, are used now. For example, the word "chambers" is a rather ambiguous concept, initially it means several rooms intended for living or temporary stay of a person.
Medical term
Such a medical concept as an emergency department is probably familiar to everyone, because everyone was there under different circumstances. The emergency room is the second name of the emergency department, the place from which the hospitalization of any patient begins and his direction to any department. Patients come to this place in the direction of a doctor or those who were brought by an ambulance. This is where the people who got hurt in the accident go. It is in this place that the patient's medical history is recorded, and his anthropological data is also entered there: weight, height and other measurements. Among other things, the initial inspection is also taking place here.
The meaning of the word "chambers" is diverse. In the case of the receptionistdepartment, the appointment of a place implies a set of procedures and examinations that prepare a person for hospitalization. For example, a patient can be washed there if he needs an urgent operation. Such places often have multidisciplinary staff who are able to determine who and where to send in the event of an ambulance. This place is the main distributor and registrar of patients.
Literary term
If from a medical point of view, everything is clear to a modern person, then from a literary and historical point of view, not very much. If in the literature chambers are a fairly common concept, then in history it can not be found often, but the meaning will be the same.
What are
For those who love books, especially the fantasy genre about parallel universes and the Middle Ages, this concept is nothing new. Chambers are one room or a complex of rooms intended for housing or temporary stay. Most often, the term refers to richly decorated rooms intended for noble people. If we talk about chambers in which there are several rooms, then it all depends on how rich the owner is and for whom the rooms are intended.
For example, the royal chambers is a network of rooms, which must have a living room, a bedroom, an office and a bathroom, possibly a dressing room. Such a set is determined by the type of activity of the visitor or the owner, it is worth considering that there was always a personal office in the master's chambers. Guest quarters most often consist of a bathroom, living room andbedrooms. In any case, the living room is needed to meet visitors so that they do not get from the corridor immediately into the bedroom.
There are not so many such words that have come down to our time with an already changed meaning, there are much more new ones. But for general development, you need to know them, at least in order to understand what the interlocutor is talking about or what is written in the book.
