user: How to understand the following definition:
“To draw from, as in a regular course or channel; to receive from a source by a regular conveyance.”
Does this implies “continual dependance” and if so, how? Please explain in details, in a very simple language.
ai: Sure! Let’s break down the definition step by step:
-
“To draw from, as in a regular course or channel”:
- This means to take or get something from a specific path or method that is consistent and predictable.
-
“To receive from a source by a regular conveyance”:
- This means to get something from a particular origin or starting point in a steady and reliable way.
Now, let’s think about “continual dependence”:
- Continual means happening without interruption, ongoing.
- Dependence means needing something or someone for support or help.
Putting it all together:
- The definition suggests that you are regularly getting something from a specific source.
- Because you are getting it regularly and reliably, you are depending on that source to keep providing it.
So, yes, this implies “continual dependence” because you are consistently relying on that source to supply what you need. If the source stops providing, you would be affected because you depend on it continuously.
