| 词汇 | ruffian |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1531, from M.Fr. rufian "a pimp," from It. ruffiano "a pander, pimp," of uncertain origin, perhaps from a Gmc. source related to rough (q.v.), but Du. roffiaan, Ger. Ruffian are said to be from French. Eng. meaning may have been influenced by similarity of sound to rough. The Romanic words (e.g. M.L. ruffianus, Prov. rufian, Catalan rufia, Sp. rufian) preserve the sense of "protector or owner of whores." For sense evolution in Eng., cf. bully. 词根记忆： n. 恶棍(ruff凶残+ian)[-an表名词和形容词,"…地方,…人] 词根词缀： ruffian ruffian n 恶棍(ruff凶残+ian) -an表名词和形容词,”…地方.…人 american a 美洲的 n. 美洲人 spartan n 斯巴达人roman a 罗马的 n . 罗马人partisan n 党徒(party党派) artisan n 手工艺人(artist艺术家+an) republican a 共和国的 n.共和党人 amphibian a 两栖动物(的) (amphi二个+bl生命+an) urban a 城市的(urb城市,参考:suburb郊区,aub+urb) suburban a 郊区的ruffian n 恶棍(ruff凶残+ian) cicilian n 平民(civil人民的) custodian n 管理员(custody监管) |
