Broader Meaning of The Word
Since its inception in Star Trek: The Next Generation and development by Peter David, the word Imzadi has come to mean much more than its bare definition.
The fantasy word Imzadi (pronounced Em'zæ'dæ), a Betazed word most closely translated "the first," refers not necessarily to the first sexual partner but to "the first to ever touch you deeply, mentally and emotionally."
It signifies an emotional intimacy that flows from deep heartwarming affection, an affection so strong it flows from the innermost depths of the heart like an invisible fluid out of the body through the windows* of your soul and into the welcoming windows* of your 'Dear One', in essence a mutually spiritual experience of seeing, touching and melding emotionally to become one in heart, mind and mutually beneficial life objectives.
* Here "windows" refer to the eyes.

Famous quotes containing the words broader, meaning and/or word:
“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
“The rest to some faint meaning make pretense,
But Shadwell never deviates into sense.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“This Ennui, for which we Saxons had no name, this word of France has got a terrific significance. It shortens life, and bereaves the day of its light.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
