Viollet-le-Duc; he even imagined a situation in which one of the designers of the great Gothic cathedrals had been resuscitated and confronted with a modern building problem and modern means of construction. He argued that the result would not have been an imitation Gothic building, but an authentically modern one based on analogous intellectual procedures.
The past must not be raided for its external effects, then, but for its underlying principles and processes.

jungle, n.

Pronunciation:  /ˈdʒʌŋɡ(ə)l/

Forms:  Also 18 jangal, jingle, jungul.

Etymology:  < Hindi and Marathi jangal desert, waste, forest, Sanskrit jaṇgala dry, dry ground, desert. 

The change in Anglo-Indian use may be compared to that in the historical meaning of the word forest in its passage from a waste or unenclosed tract to one covered with wild wood. In the transferred sense of jungle there is apparently a tendency to associate it with tangle.

 1. In India, originally, as a native word, Waste or uncultivated ground (= ‘forest’ in the original sense); then, such land overgrown with brushwood, long grass, etc.; hence, in Anglo-Indian use:

 a. Land overgrown with underwood, long grass, or tangled vegetation; also, the luxuriant and often almost impenetrable growth of vegetation covering such a tract.

 b. with a and pl. A particular tract or piece of land so covered; esp. as the dwelling-place of wild beasts.

c. Extended to similar tracts in other lands, especially tropical.

2. transf. and fig.

a. A wild, tangled mass. Also, a place of bewildering complexity or confusion; a place where the ‘law of the jungle’ prevails; a scene of ruthless competition, struggle, or exploitation; esp. with qualification, as blackboard junglein schools, asphalt jungle, concrete jungle in cities.
