| 词汇 | candle |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. candel, early church-word borrowing from L. candela "a light, torch," from candere "to shine," from PIE base *kand- "to glow, to shine, to shoot out light" (cf. Skt. cand- "to give light, shine," candra- "shining, glowing, moon;" Gk. kandaros "coal;" Welsh cann "white;" M.Ir. condud "fuel"). Candles were unknown in ancient Greece (where oil lamps sufficed), but common from early times among Romans and Etruscans. Candles on birthday cakes seems to have been originally a German custom. To hold a candle to originally meant "to help in a subordinate capacity." Candlemass, O.E. candelmæsse, is the feast of the purification of the Virgin Mary (Feb. 2), celebrated with many candles, corresponding to Celtic pagan Imbolc. To burn the candle at both ends is recorded from 1730. 词根记忆： n. 蜡烛Having canceled X-ray scan, the cancerous candidate on the canvas ate the idle candles in the candy can.取消X线扫描后,帆布上的癌症候选人吃了糖果罐里的闲置蜡烛. 蜡烛[cand=white,glow,表示"白,发光"] 词根词缀： candle candle蜡烛 cand=white,glow,表示”白,发光”candid坦白的,直率的(cand+id=白的=坦白的) candor坦白candidate侯选人(candid+ate=白色的人=候选人) candela烛光(cand白,光=ela表名词=烛光) candle蜡烛candescence发光(cand光+escence开始…的=开始发光) incandescent白热的,遇热发光的(in进入+candescent发光) incense香,candid坦白的,直率的(cand+id=白的=坦白的) candidate侯选人(candid+ate=白色的人=候选人) candela烛光(cand白,光=ela表名词=烛光) candle蜡烛candescence发光(cand光+escence开始…的=开始发光) incandescent白热的,遇热发光的(in进入+candescent发光) incense香, |
