Sustenance - what does it mean?
Jakob Norstedt-Moberg 2007-Sep-04 13:04:00
English is not my native language, so the definition of the word
sustenance is not completely clear for me.
I read about the theme at the WWP web page: "The definition of
sustenance is a means of sustaining life or livelihood."
Is this the full truth? I read definitions on the web that
sustenance is the act of sustaining. But sustain is to bear up
under, support from below, withstand, et cetera. Not necessarily
something with life or livelihood.
So, my English speaking fellows, can you imaging using sustenance
for something not directly related to life?
