spontaneous
의미: Occurring or arising naturally and without external cause or planning; performed or said as a result of a sudden inner impulse rather than premeditation.
Spontaneous carries a predominantly positive charge in everyday English, suggesting naturalness, freshness, and freedom from contrivance. A 'spontaneous' outburst of applause, a 'spontaneous' gesture of kindness, or a 'spontaneous' trip conveys something genuine and unforced. In science, it describes processes that occur without external input: 'spontaneous combustion,' 'spontaneous generation,' 'spontaneous remission.' The word implies that no external agent planned or triggered the event. It collocates with 'spontaneous combustion,' 'spontaneous applause,' 'spontaneous reaction,' and 'spontaneous remission.'
