Sophisticated ??

Question

What does sophisticated mean ?
I'm extemely confused pls help me???

Answer 1

The word can be used in different ways. A sophisticated piece of equipment is one that is up-to-the-minute, complex, or scientifically or otherwise advanced. A sophisticated person is generally elegant, well mannered, and worldly.

Answer 2

Google defines sophisticated as: (1) having, revealing, or involving a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge of fashion and culture (2) developed to a high degree of complexity.



I personally believe culture hasn't got a lot to do with sophistication but good manners are something that I associate it with instead.

Answer 3

Sophisticated comes from the Greek - as in, the sophists, a group of people in the Athenian democracy.



The sophists were a group formed mainly of men from outside Athens who came to join with Pericles.



In spite of what followed, the people of Athens greatly admired Pericles and kept voting him into power

for a period of about thirty years.

The Sophists of Athens formed what we might think of today as the original 'atheists' - at least, they seemed not to have any belief in the Gods.



I'm not sure that the modern word 'sophisticated' is directly related to the 'sophists' but it is nice to think that it might be, even in some tenuous way.



Anyway, I'm sticking to my theory on that.



Athena with you always

Answer 6

It IS a little confusing but I will give it a try. Being sophisticated usually refers to the impression or trappings of wealth. He dresses well, he knows how to behave in tricky situations, he's educated and worldly. He's classy. It all means he appears to be sophisticated. Note that you always describe someone else as sophisticated, never yourself.

The word "Sophisticated" means experience, worldly. or wise. Good luck.
