| 词汇 | round |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： c.1290, from Anglo-Fr. rounde, O.Fr. roont, probably originally *redond, from V.L. *retundus (cf. Prov. redon, Sp. redondo, O.It. ritondo), from L. rotundus "like a wheel, circular, round," related to rota "wheel" (see rotary). The O.Fr. word is the source of M.Du. ront (Du. rond), M.H.G. runt (Ger. rund) and similar Gmc. words. In many uses it is an aphetic form of around. First record of round trip is from 1860. Round number is 1646, from earlier sense of "full, complete" (1340, sense of symmetry extended to that of completeness); roundhouse (1589) is from Du. rondhuis "guardhouse." King Arthur's Round Table is attested from c.1300, from O.Fr. table ronde (1155, in Wace's Roman de Brut). Roundhead "adherent of Parliamentary party in the English Civil War" (1641) is from their custom of wearing the hair close-cropped, in contrast to the flowing curls of the cavaliers. Round heels attested from 1926, in ref. to incompetent boxers, 1927 in ref. to loose women, in either case implying an inability to avoid ending up flat on one's back. 词根记忆： a. 圆的prep.围绕ad.在周围v.绕行n.(一)回合The boundary around the round ground separates us from the surroundings.围绕着圆形场地的边界将我们同四周隔开. |
