As a language develops, words may lose their relevance and be pushed out of use.
For example, the word "podzor". During the Soviet Union, every grandmother knew it.
What does the word "podzor" mean?
As reported by sport24.ru , Ushakov's explanatory dictionary gives three definitions of the word "podzor".
A valance is a frill or lace border that hangs down under something, a carved cornice in Russian wooden architecture, and the overhang of a ship's stern above the rudder.
We will talk about the first meaning. People used the word podzor to denote not only a frill, but also a long, wide white cloth with a lace border.
This cloth was used to cover the bed so that its lace part could be seen from under the bedspread.
The lace border was usually made by hand.
The valances were decorated with geometric and floral patterns, images of birds and animals.
