: Hi, could you explain the meaning of "Silver lining", when and how to use this word?
It means
that a negative situation has produced something that is very positive. The very
positive thing or situation is the "silver lining".
For instance, many people
agree that one of the "silver linings" of World War 2 was the increae in technology
that hastened the development and start of the computer era.
