An individual can be classified as an eyesore due to his or her ugliness.
Adephesio is a term whose etymology takes us to the Latin phrase ad Ephesĭos , which can be translated as “to the Ephesians” or “belonging to the Ephesians.” This was the name of a people from ancient times who used to boast and boast about their achievements. He reached such a point in this sense that, on numerous occasions, he fell into situations that bordered on the extravagant, the absurd and even the ridiculous.
That is also the title of one of the epistles (letters) written by Saint Paul . It is said that the saint, while carrying out his preaching work in the town of Ephesus , suffered different punishments and attacks . The meaning of adephesio in our language derives from this situation.
An epistle that the writer Miguel de Unamuno spoke about, who considered that it gave shape to the term adefesio as ridiculousness, nonsense and extravagance. The letter is currently read by priests at weddings because it contains advice for spouses to behave appropriately. Such advice, for Unamuno , was anachronistic, totally ridiculous and too rigid.
Concept of eyesore
Adephesius, therefore, is something ugly, absurd or grotesque . The concept can refer to people, animals , objects or situations .
For example: “When I was a teenager I had self-esteem problems: I felt like an eyesore” , “What is that strange animal?! It's an eyesore, get it out of here,” “The project presented by Congressman Solano is an eyesore that does not withstand even the slightest analysis.”
The idea of an eyesore can be linked to the grotesque.
The ugliness
When the notion is used in relation to a human being or an animal, it is linked to ugliness or certain extravagant characteristics. Because these are aesthetic issues, naming someone as an eyesore implies an opinion since said consideration is subjective. One man may think that a woman is an eyesore, while another man believes that the same woman is beautiful.
Nowadays, adefesio is normally used in colloquial speech to record that a man or woman aesthetically does not meet the canons of beauty and can be considered very ugly. The fact of not having a “harmonious” face, having a disproportionate body member or wearing a look that does not follow fashion trends can be reasons for someone to define another as an eyesore.
In this way, the use with that meaning could be the following: “The woman completely rejected the man who wanted to flirt with her at the nightclub because he seemed like a real eyesore.”
Oddity as something ridiculous
Ridiculous or cartoonish things can also be mentioned as eyesores. An architect may consider a building to be an eyesore since he does not like its forms and maintains that it is a non-functional structure .
On a general level, an eyesore is something that lacks logic or is impractical . A ruler, in this framework, can affirm that an opposition electoral front is an eyesore since its members do not coincide ideologically.
