crescendo
의미: A gradual increase in loudness or intensity in music; more broadly, the point of greatest intensity or the climax of something that has been building.
Strictly speaking, a crescendo is the process of getting louder, not the loud point itself — purists object to phrases like 'reached a crescendo,' preferring 'reached a climax.' However, the extended usage is now widespread and well established in English. The word is commonly used figuratively to describe any situation that builds in intensity, from protests to applause to emotional tension.
