| 词汇 | bull |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1. bull (1) O.E. bula "a steer," or O.N. boli "bull," both from P.Gmc. *bullon- (cf. M.Du. bulle, Ger. Bulle), perhaps from a Gmc. verbal stem meaning "to roar," which survives is some Ger. dialects and perhaps in the first element of boulder (q.v.). The other possibility is that it is from PIE *bhln-, from base *bhel- (2) "to blow, swell" (see bole). An uncastrated male, reared for breeding, as opposed to a bullock or steer. Extended after 1615 to males of other large animals (elephant, alligator, whale, etc.). Stock market sense is from 1714. Bulldog is from 1500, perhaps from shape, perhaps originally used for baiting bulls; bullfrog is from 1738, on resemblance of voice. Bulldyke is from 1926 (see dyke). Phrase to take the bull by the horns first recorded 1711. 2. bull (2) "papal edict," c.1300, from L. bulla "sealed document," originally the word for the seal itself, from bulla "round thing, knob," said to be ult. from Gaulish, from PIE *bul- (cf. Lith. bule "buttocks," M.Du. puyl "bag"). 词根记忆： n. 公牛The dull bull fully fulfilled pulling the bulletproof bulletin board.迟钝的公牛充分履行了拖防弹公告牌(的职责). n. 公牛[bu=ox,表示"牛"] 词根词缀： bull bulletproof a 防弹的(bullet子弹) -proof表形容词,”防…的” waterproof a 防水的(water水) foolproof a 错不了的(fool笨蛋) rainproof a 防雨的(rain雨) airproof a 不透气的(air空气) lightproof a 不透光的(light光线) bulletproof a 防弹的(bullet子弹) gasproof a 防毒气(gas气体,毒气) bull n 公牛bu=ox,表示”牛” bull n 公牛bully v 欺负(别人) (象公牛一样吓唬别人) bucolic a 牧场的,田园的(buc+olie表形容词) buffalo n 公牛(可能是bull的变体) bugle n 军号,喇叭(bull+angle的组合) bullet枪弹(bull=ball球+et=小球=子弹) ball,bol=throw, dance, ball,表示”抛,舞,球”ballroom舞厅(ball+room房间) ballet芭蕾舞(ball+et=舞蹈=芭蕾舞) balloon气球(ball球+oon表名词) bullet枪弹(bull=ball球+et=小球=子弹) ballot投票symbol符号,象征(sym共同+bol抛=共同抛出的标志=象征) symbolize用符号表示,象征(symbol+ize) |
