The term literal meaning means that all words are in strict accordance with their original meanings. In other words, to apply the literal meaning is to take the words in their most basic sense without metaphor or exaggeration.

this is normally used to make the reader understand everything ..without any use of indirect language .

well to make it clear to u ill try to give an example :

" Can you wait outside? "

In the literal meaning, this could be construed as:

Do you have the ability to wait outside?

Answer:

Well basically the just changed because overtime the meaning of words have changed. The way we talk and our context clues have shifted because some things from back then don't mean the same as they do now an example of this would be heartburn now it means that a pain in your heart from possibly to much grease, back then it was a way to describe jealousy. It is easy to understand the reading always through context clues! When you use the words around what you are reading the meaning of the word can change to what the author wanted it to mean! I think it only changed because people change and they make everything else that they say mean what they want. It also helps with the development of technology that we can edit text and use sights to help generalize words so that other people see the words how we want them to.

hope it helps : )
