В Германии назвали слово года

«Слово 2021 года — волнорез. Это слово означает все меры, которые были приняты, чтобы остановить четвертую волну пандемии коронавируса», — говорится в пресс-релизе.

Традиционно GfdS обнародовало список еще девяти слов, которые в прошедшем году играли особую роль в общественной дискуссии. На втором месте идет «СолидАРность»- это название благотворительной акции по поддержке пострадавших при разрушительных наводнениях на западе Германии в июле. Выделение букв АР связано с названием
