You may have heard the shocking news about Donald Trump, a US presidential candidate, being shot at. Something else surprised me too. In Japan, news reports didn't mention the name of the person who died from a stray bullet. But American news did share this information.

iden「それ自身」は元々はラテン語が語源で「本当に絶対にそれ」「誓ってそれ」というような意味。つまりidenは「それ」を強調した形。iden「本当に絶対に誓って、それ」＝（語源的に）「それ」の強調「強調」って英語の説明に意外によく出てきますよね。

In English grammar, the term "emphasis" is used very often without much explanation of what it actually means to emphasize something. That's what I want to tell you about today.
