Impetuous is to feel and act with
great rigor, violence, and in a rushed manor. (Oxford English Dictionary).
Impetuous is: to be done quickly, without care or thought. (Oxford
Dictionaries). Impetuous is to be of or pertaining to a characterization and
impulsive actions and decisions. (Dictionary.com) To say one is impetuous is to
identify a dis-ease and anxiety within them, almost always during a moment of
pressure. Impetuous is usually used to describe a noun in a state of rigorous momentum.
Impetuous has been used as an
adjective since the late fourteenth century. It comes from the French
thirteenth century word impetuos. This
word comes from impetuosus which spelled
similarly to our modern version of the word impetuous; it has the same meaning
as well. From here it can be related to its original derivative impetus a latin word meaning to attack. Furthermore
the root word impetus describes a moving force, stimulus and momentum
(Dictionary.com). The suffix, ‘ous’ is defined as being “abounding in, full of,
or the nature of” (Oxford English Dictionary). Thus, impetuous is to be
bountiful in motivation and momentum, however referring back to its origin, it
also establishes an attack and violence in its nature.
To be impetuous as a human, one
may feel overwhelmed or that there is a sense of disorder in their life. A student working on a studio deadline the day before may be impetuous as they try to finish the project on time. The lack
of time and effort available for them to put into their work and in the events and actions will
result in an uncomfortable mark. An ordinarily reasonable person may act impetuously anticipating the
repercussions that will follow an unaccomplished task. However, the lack of
clarity in the impetuous brain can cause an opposite reaction than that it
would want to. The quickened mind becomes overwhelmed, cramped, and thus the
thoughts slow and the result is what it fears: a lack in production. This impetuosity
causes the mind to slow with anxiety, things are done rushed, without careful
thought and often completed wrongly and roughly. In the rush, one may act with
rigor and violence, causing unknown or accidental harm to one or both the work,
the people around them and oneself. As a result one, who may not even finish,
will often be displeased with the resultant work and relationships at this
time.
On the other hand, impetuous can
describe more than just a person, but also any other living being, place or object.
Impetuous can illustrate the actions and demeanor of any describable noun which
may apply. The wind may blow impetuously, thrashing the beaten log shack in its
wake. The wind which blows against the log shack is both violent and has a
momentum. However, to be described as impetuous, it must have movement in some form. It would be inaccurate to say that a house is
impetuous, because the house cannot have momentum, rigor or be violent. However
the house may be filled with impetuous beings, because the beings inside can be
violent, have motivation and movement. Therefore, impetuous describes a noun which feels, acts, or moves with rigor, violence, motivation and
momentum.
