개요
과로(過勞)는 '지날 과(過)'와 '수고로울 로(勞)'가 합쳐진 단어로, 신체적 또는 정신적 에너지를 한계 이상으로 소모하는 상태를 뜻합니다. 현대 사회에서 업무량 증가로 인해 흔히 발생하는 건강 위협 요소입니다. 2) 사용 패턴: 주로 '과로로 인해', '과로가 원인이다', '과로를 피하다'와 같이 건강 상태나 원인을 설명할 때 사용합니다. 3) 공통 문맥: 직장인의 야근, 수험생의 밤샘 공부, 혹은 육체 노동이 많은 환경에서 건강이 악화되었을 때 자주 쓰입니다. 4) 유의어 비교: '피로'는 단순히 지친 상태를 말하지만, '과로'는 그 원인이 '지나친 노동'에 있음을 강조합니다. '탈진'은 과로의 결과로 나타나는 극도의 에너지 고갈 상태를 의미합니다.
