lustration, hehe

[kurdelebele]

W zachodniej prasie używa się sformułowania "the law of lustration".

[ladyinred2]

a może:
vetting (według Wielkiego Słownika OXford PWN):(of application, proposal)
sprawdzenie n, weryfikacja f; (of person) sprawdzenie n, prześwietlenie n; to
give sb a vetting sprawdzić or prześwietlić kogoś; security vetting sprawdzenie
przez służby odpowiedzialne za bezpieczeństwo

widzialem to nieszczesne

"lustration" z wielkim wyjasnieniem w nawiasie co to jest, ale bbc uzywa
terminu "vetting law" co brzmi ladniej i prosciej.

I'd agree that "lustracja" needs an explanation for anon-Polish reader. As it is
a very specific and political word, and only applies to Poland I would leave it
as "lustracja," and not bother using the word "lustration" - although a few
experts might know what it is supposed to mean. Just like when "perestroika" was
in the news, nobody thought it needed translating, they just explained what it
was. You can use the word "vetting" when explaining the concept.
The word "lustration" reminds me of "spedition" - which exists in German but not
in English, despite looking English. Just like Germans call mobile phones "handy"

Lustration is derrived from Latin "lustratio" meaning the act of lustrating or
purifying. Its origins reach even further into ancient Greece: κάθαρσις =
catharsis = purification or purgation of emotions.

So in essence it means "lets get it all out and get it over with".

Yes, in English the term "lustration" derived from the Greek, and was used to
describe ancient Greek rituals.

The Polish term "lustracja" also derives from the Greek, and as well as
describing ancient Greek rituals is used to talk about campaign of various
measures in the political life of the country. So why bother mirror translating
it? Surely the specific connotations of lustracja in the Polish context provide
every reason simply to leave it in the original (in this meaning) Polish form.
We don't call vodka "little water."
