minimizing Explanation: Ovo je figurativno (ispošćavati - postiti), a smisao je koliko vidim u ovom kontekstu lišiti svega suvišnog, svesti na minimum (ali ne i ukinuti, kako u nastavku kaže), tako da bi neki engleski ekvivalent bio minizing, reducing to a minimum, što se tiče semantike, ali moguće je da postoji i nešto što bi stilski bilo približnije. |
