1 throes
Throes изначально означало сильные боли, такие, например, как при родах или агонии, и выражение death throes (смертельные муки) всё ещё используется. Фигуральное выражение in the throes of something (в судорогах/лихорадке чего-либо) стало употребляться в конце XVII в. В настоящее время мы встречаем in the throes of moving house (в муках переезда); in the throes of examinations (в экзаменационных муках); in the throes of office restructuring (в муках офисной реорганизации). -
