the tense where morality gets an asterisk and everyone becomes a temporary expert in sacrifice.
means the period during which a nation is actively engaged in war, with laws, economics, and daily life reorganized around that fact.
from from old english 'wig' (war) plus 'tima' (time) — the compound just glues the two together, though the concept predates the word by roughly all of human history.
