Question

predicament n.困境 (1) 他们试图摆脱这种困境。(2) 只需一笔贷款就能帮我摆脱困境。(3) 我突然发现自己处于困境中。 The Greek word that predicament originally descends from means "a state of being." Which makes sense considering the words that sound like predicate are all about states of being––predict, or say what's going to happen in the future, and predicate the second part of a sentence that's led by the verb. Think of predicament as an unpleasant state of being.
