| 词汇 | bastard |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： early 13c., "illegitimate child," from O.Fr. bastard (11c., Mod.Fr. bâtard), "acknowledged child of a nobleman by a woman other than his wife," probably from fils de bast "packsaddle son," meaning a child conceived on an improvised bed (saddles often doubled as beds while traveling), with pejorative ending -art (see -ard). Alternative possibly is that the word is from P.Gmc. *banstiz "barn," equally suggestive of low origin. Not always regarded as a stigma; the Conqueror is referred to in state documents as "William the Bastard." Figurative sense is from 1550s; use as a vulgar term of abuse for a man is attested from 1830. 词根记忆： n. 私生子(bast原意"结婚",后指不结婚而同居)[-ard表名词,"不好的人"] 词根词缀： bastard bastard n 私生子(bast原意”结婚”,后指不结婚而同居) -ard 表名词,”不好的人” drunkard n 醉鬼(drank醉的) laggard n 落后者(lag落后) coward n 胆怯者(cow吓唬,吓坏) bastard n 私生子(bast原意”结婚”,后指不结婚而同居) niggard n 吝啬鬼(nigg[=niggle 小气地做事]+ard) sluggard n 懒鬼(slug一种爬得很慢的虫子) |
