What does engaged mean

What does engaged mean? This word has been used for a long time both in written and spoken language. But not everyone knows the true meaning of this term.

In this article we will reveal the meaning of this word and give examples of its use.

What is engaged

The concept of "engaged" is used today in a variety of areas. Engaging means engaging someone in a business or engaging a person or group of people to actively participate in something.

Also, this word implies the provision of various services, obtaining benefits, benefits or an attempt to persuade someone to biased actions, statements, etc.

An interesting fact is that a couple of centuries ago to engage meant only one thing - to invite a lady to dance or book a dance with a specific woman. Thus, the lady became engaged, that is, she was in demand and invited, as a result of which she no longer had the right to dance with another gentleman.

It is worth noting that this word comes from the French "engagement", which means - commitment and hiring. Today, as a rule, they do not engage women in dancing, but politicians, public figures, artists, journalists and other people who have authority in society.

And if earlier “engaging” was not considered something bad, today this concept has acquired a negative connotation. For example, when we are told about the biasedness of a deputy or a whole party, they make it clear to everyone that he or they express not a personal opinion, but the point of view of the one who biased them, but in fact simply hired them for money.

In this case, not only people can be engaged, but also campaigns, courts or the media. Examples: "This is a politically biased newspaper, so I don't believe its articles." "The court was biased and from the very beginning set up for a conviction."
