词汇 | graft |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1. graft (1) "shoot inserted into another plant," 1483, from O.Fr. grafe "graft, stylus," from L. graphium "stylus," from Gk. grapheion "stylus," from graphein "write." So called on resemblance of a stylus to the pencil-shaped shoots used in grafting. The terminal -t- in the Eng. word is not explained. 2. graft (2) "corruption," 1859 (as a verb), Amer.Eng., perhaps from graft (1) via Brit. slang sense of "one's occupation" (1853), which seems to be from the word's original sense of "digging" (see graft (1)). |
