ESCHEW Meaning and
Definition
-
Eschew: (verb) [es-choo]
The term "eschew" refers to the act of deliberately avoiding or abstaining from something, typically due to a strong dislike, aversion, or moral objection. It entails consciously steering clear of certain actions, behaviors, or attitudes in favor of an alternative course of action or belief.
The word "eschew" often implies a sense of discipline, self-restraint, or a commitment to personal principles. It suggests the conscious choice to reject or renounce something that may be tempting or prevalent within one's surroundings. While it may be tempting to perceive "eschew" simply as a synonym for "avoid," it goes beyond mere avoidance as it involves a purposeful decision to distance oneself from particular aspects or elements.
Eschewing can be applied in various domains, such as personal choices, moral values, dietary preferences, or even social and cultural norms. For instance, one may eschew smoking due to its detrimental health effects, eschew unethical practices to maintain professional integrity, or eschew materialism to focus on spiritual values.
From a linguistic perspective, "eschew" traces its roots back to the Old English verb "ascéohan," which means "to seek out." Over time, its meaning evolved to signify "evading" or "avoiding." Its usage is predominantly formal or literary, contributing to its ability to add eloquence and depth to written or spoken English.

Common Misspellings for ESCHEW
Etymology of ESCHEW
The word "eschew" originates from the Middle English term "eschewen", which in turn comes from the Old French word "eschiver" meaning "to avoid" or "to shun". This ancient root ultimately traces back to the Frankish word "skiuhan" meaning "to dread" or "to avoid". Over time, the word evolved in meaning and spelling to become the modern English term "eschew", which is typically used to convey the act of deliberately avoiding or staying away from something.
