RE: The Sports ‘Upset’ Did Not Begin with Man o’ War

in #etymology5 years ago

A great review @donkeypong and I didn’t even suspect that the term “upset” has several uses, for me personally, “upset” meant that someone was disheartened by the result that was not achieved, but you showed me in this message that can approach differently this term.

Sort:  

It's an extended meaning of that applied to sports, I think.
