Notas de uso

This term is often used in technical, political, or sociological discussions to describe a deliberate but potentially dangerous application of pressure. Although it ends in '-ism', in this specific context it is utilized as a verb to denote the practice or action of causing strain.

⚠️

Erros comuns

Learners often treat this word solely as a noun because of the '-ism' suffix. Remember that in certain advanced or test-specific contexts, it functions as a verb meaning to apply excessive tension.
