Capsize is the act and result of capsizing . This verb , for its part, can be used in reference to shipwreck, collapse, lose, fail or to feel insecure due to uncertainty .
For example: "The corruption case involving four ministers put the national government in anxiety" , "The Mexican company reported that its oil platform is at risk of capsize due to an explosion" , "After the boxer's fall, there were moments of "There was anxiety in the stadium, but fortunately the boxer managed to recover."
Before moving forward, it is important to know the etymological origin of the term. It derives from a Latin word that can be translated as "sinking" .
Capsize in the maritime
In the field of maritime , the state of the wind or ocean that puts vessels at risk is called capsize, according to what is stated by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary. A ship capsizes, by extension, when it tilts or capsizes due to gusts and waves.
When any boat capsizes, what can happen is that it ends up sinking , thus endangering the lives of those traveling on board, or that it spills its contents. Both cases occur periodically throughout the world.
A good example of the first case would be the capsize that led to a boat with 33 people having to be rescued in the Puerto de Plata area. In the second case we come across situations such as the capsizing of the ship Oleg Naydenov in the area of the Canary Islands .
The concept in colloquial language
In colloquial language, the idea of anxiety is used to name the restlessness , anguish and nervousness experienced in certain situations or conflicts.
Suppose a man is walking down the street with his wife when, for no apparent reason, the woman faints and falls to the ground without reaction. Desperate, the guy takes her to a hospital. While a doctor examines her, the man spends moments of anxiety: he is worried and scared to know what happened to his wife. Finally, the professional informs him that his wife's blood pressure has dropped and that she is now recovering. Upon receiving this information, the individual calms down and leaves the state of anxiety.
Anxiety in the title of cultural works
Within the cultural field, we have to point out that we have numerous types of different works that use the term that concerns us now in their titles. This would be the case, for example, of "Historias de la zozobra" , by the writer Nuria Gómez Benet , made up of a total of ten stories or stories.
These stories come to address situations that turn out to be painful, complicated and difficult for their protagonists, such as madness, passion, love, the loss of a loved one, longing, the impossibility of achieving one's dreams...
Not forgetting the work "Complete Zozobras" by Javier Krahe , author of other works such as "Charlas con un vago burlón" and collaborator of Joaquín Sabina .
