英语词汇“fulcrum”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

The supporting point of a lever, the first fulcrum you met was probably on the playground — right underneath the see-saw.

Back in the 17th century, a fulcrum referred to any general prop or support. Today it’s taken on more scientific connotations, thanks to Physics class. However, people still use fulcrum to describe something that plays an essential role or serves as the center of an activity or situation, such as the “fulcrum of the debate.” Or that mom who organized everybody’s playdates? She was the "fulcrum of the playground social circle."
