Word of the week: LODESTAR - ПРОВІДНА ЗОРЯ
Мені здається, що серед останніх слів із виписаного словничка це найбільш надихає і найкраще підходить для першого слова тижня.
LODESTAR [COUNTABLE] MAINLY LITERARY a principle that always influences or directs your actions (rule, convention, law), something that serves as a guide or on which the attention is fixed, “guiding light”.
Examples:
The party manifesto is no longer the lodestar it used to be. (Cambridge Online Dictionary).
The idea of public service has been a lodestar for her throughout her life. (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)
In legal texts this term is coined to the amount obtained by multiplying the reasonable amount of hours spent by an attorney working on a case by the reasonable hourly billing rate for purposes of calculating an award of attorney's fees.
Example:
Under the lodestar method, the most heavily weighted multipliers are the time and labor required.
