the.com/interview
a job application disguised as a conversation where both parties politely lie
means A formal meeting in which one party questions another to assess them, gather information, or evaluate suitability — for a job, a story, or a record.
from From French 'entrevue,' the noun from 's'entrevoir' — literally 'to see each other,' built from 'entre-' (between) and 'voir' (to see), itself from Latin 'videre.' So at its root an interview is simply two people getting a look at one another — the English spelling drifting toward 'view' as the word settled in around the 16th century.
