Asidero can be used synonymously with handle or handle.

The handle is the part of an element that allows you to grasp it (take it, grab it, hold it), according to the first meaning of the term mentioned in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). In this framework, the handle is the handle , handle or handle that makes it possible to manipulate an object.

Before moving forward, it is important to examine the etymological origin of the concept. In this case we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin and is the result of the sum of two clearly specified components:

  • The noun ansa , which can be translated as “handa” .
  • The suffix -ero , which is used to indicate “belonging” .

Characteristics of a handle

The handles must respect ergonomic criteria so that people can take the utensils with their hands. Cups, for example, have handles that allow two or more fingers to be inserted to lift them and bring them to the mouth. A vessel can have two handles to be moved with both hands simultaneously.

If handholds are important in our daily lives, they are especially important for people who have some type of physical disability . And they will help them to fend for themselves when carrying out day-to-day tasks.

Thus, for example, two of the most important grab handles that exist are those that are placed for these citizens in the bathtub and also in the toilet or toilet. These handles are used to enter and exit it and even to sit or get up from the bowl of the device.

Among the models that exist to carry out these actions are the handles that work with suction cups, the fluted ones, the ones that are foldable and the double ones.

In the same way, these devices are highly recommended to be placed in bathrooms that are used by older people. And this is how they are given security since they are a tool that they can use as support to avoid falling when entering or leaving the shower on their own.

A pot usually has two handles.

A pretext or support

A handle, on the other hand, is called a pretext , a justification or a support : “That the governor denounces pressure from the agricultural sector has no handle,” “The version that has the most support indicates that the fugitive escaped disguised as a nurse,” “Asserting that this year all wars will end is baseless.”

When it is stated that something has no basis, it refers to the fact that it cannot be supported with concrete data or logical criteria. An entrepreneur can go to a group of investors to request funds, stating that his business project will generate million-dollar profits in a few months. However, when financial experts stop to analyze the information, they discover that it is virtually impossible for the venture to be developed to produce such benefits. In this way, they state that the entrepreneur's statement has no basis: everything indicates that the fulfillment of the statement is more than unlikely.
