| 词汇 | gross |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： gross (adj.) c.1347, from O.Fr. gros "big, thick, coarse," from L.L. grossus "thick, coarse (of food or mind)," of obscure origin, not in classical L. Said to be unrelated to L. crassus, which meant the same thing, or to Ger. gross "large," but said to be cognate with O.Ir. bres, M.Ir. bras "big." Its meaning forked in M.E., to "glaring, flagrant, monstrous" on the one hand and "entire, total, whole" on the other. Meaning "disgusting" is first recorded 1958 in U.S. student slang, from earlier use as an intensifier of unpleasant things (gross stupidity, etc.). Noun sense of "a dozen dozen" is from O.Fr. grosse douzaine "large dozen;" sense of "total profit" (opposed to net) is from 1523. Gross national product first recorded 1947. 词根记忆： a. 总的,毛(重)的;粗鲁的,粗俗的n.总额The gross grocer crossed his legs before the boss.粗鄙的杂货商在老板面前叉起腿子. 总共的;重大的[gross=great(大)] 词根词缀： gross gross 总共的,重大的gross=great (大) engross 正式写成(议案 决议等) ,大量(或全部) 收买,独占gross 总共的,重大的 |
