莫清崴老師從詞「形、音、綴」的觀點解析高頻率的字彙(字母A部分15 end)
astonish
v. surprise greatly; amaze; astound (使震驚,使驚訝)
【推測詞義】源自於俗拉丁語extonāre,從古法語estoner演變而來。
原義指「用雷擊」(to strike with thunderbolt),巨大的雷鳴聲,使人震驚。
abolish
v. to do away with (a law,custom,etc.)completely; to terminate;
to annul; to eliminate; to end (廢除,廢止(法律、制度、習俗等))
【推測詞義】摧毀。
annoy
v. to trouble; to irritate; to upset ; to vex; to pester (使苦惱;使不樂);
to bother; to disturb (打擾;騷擾)
【詞源】annoy原本是個軍事用語,有「騷擾」、「破壞」等義,
例如 annoy a town,annoy the coast。
其詞源可追溯到拉丁語inodiāre ‘make loathsome’。
但annoy借自古法語anoier ‘weary, vex’,其義為「使苦惱」或「使惱怒」。
其他法語的借詞如ennui (厭倦,無聊)和noisome (討厭的,令人不快的)也都出於此源。
【衍生詞】annoyance n. 煩惱;惱怒
【常用片語】be annoyed with somebody 對(某人)生氣
be annoyed at something對(某物)苦惱
be annoyed by somebody被(某人)騷擾
