interpretation and misinterpretation
Interpretation refers to the process of explaining or understanding the meaning of something, such as a message, an action, or a piece of information. It involves extracting and comprehending the intended significance or intention behind it. Misinterpretation, on the other hand, occurs when someone misunderstands or misinterprets the meaning of something, leading to an inaccurate or incorrect understanding. It can result from various factors, such as miscommunication, personal biases, lack of knowledge, or incorrect assumptions.
