waterproof-oust:出名要趁早?
本文辭彙來自教材第2單元課文A。
【詞源解析】複合詞water+proof組成。water水,源自原始印歐語詞根*wed-(水=water、濕的=wet),W形表水的波紋,借指水;proof(證據)源自prove(證明),其中pro-為前綴,是per-的變體,表示前面(=forward),詞根ve源自原始印歐語詞根*bhu-(存在=to be),B形表凸起,也指突然出現以示存在(前文講過),在這裡提前存在的。所以waterproof就是在水的前面存在的東西即防水的
【發現】有的辭彙書將proof視作詞綴,顯示是欠妥的。
【例句】inathird,sketchesforapairofwaterproofappleshoeswithtelevisionscreensbuiltinto thetoes.
第三個是一張腳趾頭嵌入電視機屏幕的防水鞋草圖。

【詞源解析】-y是後綴,詞根jet源自原始印歐語詞根*ye-(推=throw),根據jetty的同根詞可以確定,Y是J的誤拼,J源自I,表手指,借指用手推,這裡指人們堆出的防波堤、棧橋、突堤。

【詞源解析】-ious是後綴,-or是後綴,詞根not源自原始印歐語詞根*gno-(知道=know),根據同詞根可知,脫落字母G[g]為K[k]的清濁輔音字母通轉,K表手,引申指抓住、把我、知道。這裡指眾所周知的,17世紀時詞義降格變成貶義,指聲名狼藉的。

【詞源解析】hop可能是同形異義詞。
作「啤酒花、啤酒廠」解時,可能源自原始印歐語詞根*(s)keup-(草叢=cluster、頭髮)。在傳入原始日耳曼語時,字母S就已經脫落,魔法師認為H更符合造詞視角。H表籬笆、欄杆,這裡比喻指頭上的一綹綹的毛髮、草叢,後指做啤酒花用的麥子。
作「跳躍」解時,應該是擬聲。此造詞例句可以參考hip-hop、tip-top等。
【例句】
Thecommandestablishesaconnectionto the nexthopifit ispossible.
如果可能,該命令將與下一個躍點建立連接。
【詞源解析】ou-是前綴ob-的變體,表反對(=against),詞根st源自原始印歐語詞根*sta-(站立=stand、安坐=set down),象形,S形表人坐著時身體的形狀。這裡指站在對立面的,即驅逐、罷黜等。
