Definition: To weaken, as a joint, ligament, or muscle, by sudden and excessive exertion, as by wrenching; to overstrain, or stretch injuriously, but without luxation

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look at this word – “springs.” The dictionary gives us a pretty precise definition, doesn't it? Let's break it down nice and slow. It says that ‘springs’ means to weaken, like a joint or muscle, when you push it too far, too fast. Think of it like this: “When you stretch something beyond its last cast, It weakens and gives way, moving much faster. Not a full tear, no sudden release, Just a little giving – a lessening of peace.” Essentially, it’s about overstraining. You're applying too much force, putting pressure on something that wasn't built to handle it completely. It's like bouncing a ball too high - the spring in your arm might give out! It avoids a complete break or dislocation – “luxation” as the dictionary notes – so it’s a milder form of strain. Do you have any questions about this meaning? Let's discuss how this applies to different activities, like sports or even everyday movements. Now, who can give me an example of something that might "spring" under pressure?”
