Aprehensive

Since beginning my endeavor into writing, I have become interested in words, their meaning and origin. I have always been very literal and find this word curious.

Aprehensive

adjective

adjective: apprehensive

1. 1.

   anxious or fearful that something bad or unpleasant will happen.

   “he felt apprehensive about going home”

   synonyms:

   anxious, worried, uneasy, nervous, concerned, agitated, tense, afraid, scared, frightened, fearful; More

   antonyms:

   confident

2. 2.

   archaic literary

   relating to perception or understanding.

Personally, I find the archaic definition more appealing to my literal mind.

The ability to apprehend, grasp or comprehend an idea or concept. I don’t quite understand how the word became to mean something related to fear and anxiety.

Maybe someone out there can help me to understand.

Meanwhile here is more from my visit to MIA Minneapolis Insitute of Art

accompanied by my lovely daughters.

Siblings, how can they love and be repulsed by each other simultaneously?

Cheesy right?

Have a seat

A grand location for the exhibition of expression

Firearms as art?…She’ll never forgive me, but after all isn’t it a parent’s job to embarrass their kids?

They will never know what it was like without a mobile device… It was so hard lols

Apprehending what love is and to experience it in all of its eternal facets

There you have it. You may now carry on as you were.

Until then if you please, enjoy a taste of mine.
