===== LOVITT: herausfordern ===== Herausfordern means to challenge, to call forth or summon to action, to demand positively, to provoke. It is composed of the verb [[termos:f:fordern:start|fordern]] (to demand, to summon, to challenge) and the adverbial prefixes her- (hither) and aus- (out). The verb might be rendered very literally as "to demand out hither." The structural similarity between herausfordern and (/termos/h/her-[[termos:v:vor:start|vor]]-bringen) (to bring forth hither) is readily apparent. It serves of itself to point up the relation subsisting between the two modes of revealing of which the verbs speak-modes that, in the very distinctive ways peculiar to them, occasion a coming forth into unconcealment and presencing.
