What Does bypass Mean

Soslayar is a verb that has two great uses. On the one hand, it refers to the action of locating something in such a way that it manages to cross a hole or a narrow space . For example: "You have to bypass the shelf if you want it to fit there" , "Without bypassing the piece, you will not be able to assemble the device . "

Another more frequent use of the concept is symbolic and is linked to what a person does when they prefer not to notice something that causes problems or inconveniences: "We must avoid the macroeconomic context and continue betting on our company" , "I don't want ignore the contribution of the deputy, but the reality is that the project is already defined " , " It is impossible to ignore a fact of such magnitude when talking about the history of the country . "

When an individual ignores something, what they do is pay no attention to it or try to minimize its influence or importance. The decision to bypass, therefore, is conscious and has some purpose. A politician can avoid the work of a leader of another party to avoid increasing his figure or not to recognize him merits that can bring him votes. In a similar vein, the manager of a soccer club may ignore the achievements of a footballer who was removed from the squad and later succeeded in a new team.
By believing that something or someone deserves recognition, on the other hand, a person may demand that their merits not be ignored. Suppose that the authorities of a city decide to honor a group of singers for their careers. The son of an artist who was left out of the recognition in question may ask that his father's career not be bypassed.
Regarding its etymology, the bypass verb (understood as overlook a matter in order to prevent or avoid a difficulty) derived from the adjective sidewise , which is defined as oblique or last on one side, and is synonymous with circumvented . This term may have been conceived from the Latin prefix sub- (which can indicate inferiority or diminution, or else mean "under" or "under", and which is found in words such as smile , subsoil and soasar , in its forms are - , sub- and so- , respectively) and from the word latus(which means side ).
However, the Spanish etymologist and philologist Joan Coromines i Vigneaux, born in Barcelona in 1905 and died in the same city in 1997, did not think the same. According to his studies, formerly the term sidelong was known as slip and came from the French d'eslais ( at great speed , impetuously ), which derived from s'eslaissier ( pouncing with impetus , forcing a horse to advance with impetus, hitting him with a spear while galloping ), which in turn came from the verb laissier (to leave ).

This last term, laissier, is the old form of the current verb laisser (to abandon someone or something , not participate in an affair ), and is part of the expression laissez faire, laissez passer , an expression that translates as let do, let pass , and refers to absolute freedom in the economic sphere (understood as free manufacturing, free market, reduced or zero taxes, free labor market and almost non-existent government intervention). Finally, laissier has its origin in the Latin laxare (to let go , loosen ), from which we got away andlaxative .
The expression sidelong look , which in Madrid is also known as sidelong guipa , refers to looking at a thing or a person with dissimulation , either over the shoulder, to the side, or sideways, that is, without turning the head . It is also common to hear the phrase avoid looking , which has the same meaning.
