Retching & Oblivion

This text explores two significant terms: "retching" and "oblivion." "Retching," a verb of Old English origin, means to vomit or induce vomiting, with synonyms like nausea and puke. It illustrates the physical reaction to discomfort, exemplified by a character overwhelmed by sawdust. On the other hand, "oblivion," originating from Middle French, is a noun representing the state of being forgotten or meaningless, with implications of amnesia and obscurity, as highlighted in a sentence about being trampled into nothingness.
