•• * To put paid to something – и этимология, и смысл этого выражения (положить конец/поставить крест на чем-либо) довольно прозрачны, хотя, может быть, не для всех в одинаковой мере. На сайте www.word-detective.com находим следующее определение и комментарий: “ Put paid to” means to put an end to or to stop something with utter finality, and is heard almost exclusively in Great Britain and Commonwealth countries. Пример из журнала Economist, комментирующего события в Косово:
•• This week’s violence threatens to put paid to any remaining little shoots of optimism that <...> things could be getting better. – Насилие, потрясшее Косово на этой неделе, грозит уничтожить слабые ростки оптимизма у тех, кто еще надеется на какое-то улучшение ситуации.
