Everyone who has at least a little lived in this world, there is something to hide: secrets large and small, and not very interesting. The social face that we show people hardly contains all the features of our being. The missing elements of the image hidden in the background. It's a word we will discuss today.
In this case we were lucky, and the roots of the word are well known. If to decompose it into components, we get the excuse “below” and the noun “nail”. In the not too loosely translated from Russian into Russian, becomes: is what is stored under the nail. In fact, the determination originated from the phrase “ins and outs of mystery”. Over time the last noun was forgotten, leaving only the adjective that now is not quite the adjective, or rather, not an adjective. But more on that later when we consider the meaning of the word “background”.
The Very phrase has arisen due to a special kind of torture that existed in Russia when, to ferret out the mystery, under the nails agonalis needle. If the reader forgot how unpleasant it is, let him remember at least a splinter under the nail. And soon all will become clear.
But let us leave these passions and refer to a quality of cold sanity dictionary. So, respectable source says the following about the object of the research: “secret, hidden details”.
Now, of course, no one is torturing. The people themselves give the lowdown, sometimes even making money. Those stars of show business, which already successfully went out, trying to attract the attention of the public.

We have to discuss another important technical point: the object of the research – is a noun or an adjective? Good question. In fact, the story – is the adjective that survived the substantivation and became a noun. In turn, the substantivation – it is a transition to the category of nouns pieces of other parts of speech.
Despite the secrecy of the ins and outs of secrets, we're happy to share them with friends, family. Sometimes we say a lot of nonsense, and regret. In this sense we can recall the advice of don Corleone, of this his eldest son Sonny: “Never say to anyone except family members, what do you think”. Good advice, however, difficult to achieve. Because the soul of man cannot be all the time in a secluded state, she yearns for self-realization!
In Addition to the cult book by Mario Puzo, I remember Omar Khayyam. He also insisted on silence, because unspoken words controls people, and said, on the contrary, they command. The poet, of course, put it better than that.
