• To self-diagnose — To diagnose oneself medically, psychologically, or technically, based on the analysis of one's own symptoms, behaviors, or operational errors, often using external information sources (such as the internet) and without initially consulting an authorized specialist.
• Autodiegetic — Designating a type of narrator who is at the same time the protagonist, the main character of the narrative text; relating to first-person narrative where the storyteller recounts their own experiences lived within the fictional universe.
• Self-destructed — Having destroyed itself through its own internal mechanisms, without an external destructive force; a system collapsed by the activation of an autonomous safety protocol, or a person morally or physically ruined due to their own mistakes and vices.
• Autophilic — Regarding elements, structures, or processes: autophilic; presenting an affinity toward its own structure, associating with itself, or completing itself automatically. In computer science and modern usage, it is adapted to describe software features that automatically fill in text fields based on previously stored data. In biology, it describes an organism or cell adapted to interact exclusively with elements from the same organic source.
• Archaic self-flagellation — An archaic, bookish, or etymological variant of the term 'autoflagelare', used primarily in old ecclesiastical texts or early 19th-century translations. It denotes the formal and solemn act of punishing one's own body through lashes or harsh fasting, preserved in contemporary lexicon only for stylistic or historical value.
• Automorphic — Regarding minerals or crystals, having their own regular, well-developed geometric shapes, bounded by plane crystalline faces reflecting the internal symmetrical structure of the atomic lattice, without being modified or restricted by space constraints from neighboring minerals. In petrography, the term describes the first minerals that separate and solidify from an igneous melt, having full freedom of structural growth within the fluid residual liquid.
• Automatic winder — A mechanism, device, or apparatus used in the textile industry that performs the winding, spooling, or reeling operation of threads onto a bobbin or spool fully automatically, without manual operator intervention. This electromechanical assembly monitors constant thread tension, stops rotation upon reaching a pre-established length, and prevents knotting or material breakage during the industrial spinning process.
• Self-annihilation — The act of self-annihilation and its result; a moral, psychological, or spiritual process through which an individual resorts to dissolving their own importance, deliberate self-humiliation, or the symbolic reduction of the self to nothingness. In theological or existential philosophical texts, it represents an extreme form of abandoning the ego, performed to achieve spiritual purity or as a reaction to a profound crisis of meaning.
• To portray oneself — To create one's own self-portrait; to describe or represent oneself in a detailed manner within a work of art, an autobiographical text, or a critical discourse. On a psychological and analytical level, it reflects the structural reflexive action through which a creator transposes their own identity, character traits, and inner dynamics into a fixed conceptual format, offering the public an assumed self-referential perspective.
• Archaic author variant — An archaic, regional form or ancient plural variant utilized in early historical texts to designate female authors or, in certain contexts of etymological influence, an abstract structural self-reference. In historical linguistics, the study of these lexical variants documents the evolution of inflections and the adaptation processes of neological borrowings into the morphological structure of the Romanian language prior to modern academic standardization.
• Self-review — The act of self-reviewing and its result; a review, critical essay, or structural analysis written by an author about their own work. This type of self-referential text, frequently used in experimental or avant-garde literary movements, functions as a metaliterary tool through which the creator explains their aesthetic intentions, decodes hidden symbols, and directly guides the reading public in the interpretation process.
• Archaic autosuggestion — An obsolete, archaic, or bookish variant of the word 'autosugestie', historically used in early 20th-century psychological and medical literature to denote the process of mental self-influence. While preserving the exact same conceptual meaning, the term has been completely replaced in modern academic and colloquial usage, found today only in old translations or historical specialized writings.
• Hail Mary — A traditional Christian prayer in Roman Catholicism, addressed to the Virgin Mary, based on the angel Gabriel's salutation at the Annunciation and Elizabeth's blessing; by extension, a sacred musical composition inspired by this liturgical text, with the most famous versions composed by Franz Schubert, Charles Gounod, and Giuseppe Verdi. The text invokes divine grace and requests the spiritual intercession of the Mother of God for the salvation of the faithful.
• Vespers companion — A rare archaic or regional form associated with the religious evening context; it can denote a ritual book, a rule containing the prayers for vespers, or a woman (nun) tasked with preparing and gathering the items needed for the twilight service in a monastery. As an adjective, it describes an element, gesture, or state specific to the late hours of the day, correlated with the meditative atmosphere before nightfall.
• Archaic demonstration — An early archaic form or phonetic and graphic variant of the noun 'avedere', representing the act of bringing to light, demonstrating, or proving a fact with clear evidence; in old legal and ecclesiastical charters, the term expressed the official publication, visible manifestation, or bringing forth of a hidden truth. Its structure preserves the archaic diphthongization specific to the transition of second-conjugation verbs into action nouns.
• Avesta — The collection of sacred texts of Zoroastrianism (the ancient religion of Persia), written in the Avestan language, an ancient Iranian language closely related to Vedic Sanskrit; it comprises religious hymns attributed to the prophet Zoroaster (the Gathas), prayers, liturgical rituals, and cosmological and moral law codes. Additionally, the name may appear as a modern toponym, denoting an industrial town in Sweden renowned for its metallurgy history.
• Avestan — Pertaining to the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia, or to the people who created them; as a masculine noun, it denotes the Avestan language, an extremely important ancient Iranian language of the Indo-European family, closely related to Vedic Sanskrit and used exclusively for liturgical and religious purposes. This idiom represents a fundamental source for the comparative study of Oriental languages and mythologies.
• Avesuha — An extremely rare phonetic or regional variant for 'avestiță' or 'avesuha', denoting in the magical beliefs and charms of certain Banat or Transylvanian villages the unclean spirit of the night or the female demon that brings harm to households; it represents the secret name invoked or banished during archaic popular medicine practices. Its semantics are strictly confined to ritual formulas passed down orally for protecting children and cattle against the evil eye or hags.
• Avezuha — The base, unarticulated form of the mythological term 'avesuha', representing in the traditional beliefs of western Romania the female demonic entity responsible for night terrors, the evil eye in infants, and the straying of travelers through thickets; primarily used as a semantic core in archaic verbal charms where speaking the name was meant to capture and neutralize the spirit's malevolent force. It represents a linguistic relic closely tied to protective practices in rural empirical medicine.
• Hazard — An early graphic form, literary archaism, or historically tolerated variant in old Romanian texts for the verb 'a se hazarda' (to venture), meaning to expose oneself to risk, to venture into unpredictable actions, or to put forward hypotheses without a certain structural foundation. In writings of past centuries, this conceptual pillar expressed the voluntary decision to act under the rule of chance and absolute uncertainty, guided by momentary courage.
