The art of pushing something down so hard it finds another way up.
means The act of forcibly stopping, restraining, or holding back something — a feeling, a fact, a rebellion, a bodily process — so it can't surface or express itself.
from From Latin 'supprimere,' to press down, built from 'sub-' (under) and 'premere' (to press) — the same 'premere' that gives us 'press,' 'pressure,' and 'oppress.' The past participle 'suppressus' became 'suppression,' arriving in English by way of Latin and French. The image baked into the word is literal: something being shoved beneath the surface and held there by sheer force.
