How Do You Spell TRANSFIXT?

Pronunciation: [tɹansfˈɪkst] (IPA)

The spelling of this word reflects the English language's historical use of the suffix "-t" to indicate the past tense of certain verbs.

TRANSFIXT Meaning and Definition

1. Transfixt is an archaic or poetic form of the word "transfixed," which means to be completely motionless or filled with astonishment, often due to shock or awe. It is used to describe a state in which someone or something is held in a fixed position or rendered immobile due to a deep sense of fascination or surprise. The term can also connote being transfixed by a physical object, such as being impaled or pierced by a sharp weapon or object, resulting in a state of immobility.

   In a figurative sense, transfixt refers to a condition in which one is captivated or overwhelmed to the extent that they cannot move or look away from something that has captured their attention. This can occur when one is awestruck by a particularly beautiful or mesmerizing sight, enthralled by a captivating performance, or stunned by an unexpected turn of events.

   The term transfixt is often employed in literature and poetry to create vivid imagery or to emphasize the intensity of a particular moment or feeling. Its usage adds a sense of antiquity and elegance, as it harkens back to older forms of language and expressions. Overall, transfixt denotes a state of complete stillness, enchantment, or paralysis resulting from an overwhelming emotion, situation, or physical occurrence.

Etymology of TRANSFIXT

The word "transfixt" is derived from the Latin word "transfixus", which is the past participle form of the verb "transfigere". "Transfigere" is composed of two Latin elements: "trans", meaning "across" or "through", and "figere", meaning "to fix" or "to pierce". Therefore, "transfixt" carries the meaning of something being pierced or penetrated completely through.
