contract

con + tract = together + pull (to pull together)

A contract is an agreement between two or more people, or two or more groups of people.

When someone gets a new job, they sign a contract which says what the boss will do and what the worker will do; the boss and the worker agree to what they should both do.

If someone ‘breaks a contract’ it means they do something that the contract said they wouldn’t do.

The word, contract, comes from the Latin word, contractus which first meant the agreement between two people who get married. Married people still have a ‘contract’ with each other; when they get married, they promise each other things.

Material objects are things we can see or touch (e.g. a car).

If something is described as abstract, it is something that we cannot touch or see; it is often an idea or a quality but not a ‘thing’ (it is something that ‘pulls away’ from material objects).

The opposite of abstract is ‘concrete’, which is something that can easily be touched or seen

Examples of words that have concrete meanings: dog, bus, school, kicking and shaving

Examples of words that have abstract meanings: educate, curiosity and participate

The idea of justice, or fairness, is abstract; while we can describe it and discuss its meaning and feeling, we cannot ‘see’ it or touch it.
