| 词汇 | tack |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1. tack (1) "clasp, hook, fastener," 1296, from O.N.Fr. taque "nail, pin, peg," probably from a Gmc. source (cf. M.Du. tacke "twig, spike," Low Ger. takk "tine, pointed thing," Ger. Zacken "sharp point, tooth, prong"); perhaps related to tail. Meaning "small, sharp nail with a flat head" is attested from 1463. Verb sense of "to attach as a supplement" (with suggestion of hasty or arbitrary proceeding) is attested from 1683. The meaning "rope to hold the corner of a sail in place" is first recorded 1481; hence the verb meaning "sail into the wind," first recorded 1557, which lead to the fig. sense of "course or line of conduct or action" (1675). 2. tack (2) "horse's harness, etc.," 1924, shortening of tackle in sense of "equipment." Tack in a non-equestrian sense as a shortening of tackle is recorded in dialect from 1777. 3. tack (3) "food," 1833, perhaps a shortening and special use of tackle in the sense of "gear." Hard-tack was originally "ship's biscuit," soft-tack being bread. 词根记忆： v. 钉住;缝合[tach=nail表示"钉子"] 词根词缀： tack tack v 钉住,缝合tach=nail 表示”钉子” attach v 附上,使属下(at=tach=钉子=附上) attache n 使馆随员(attach+e) detach v 分开,拆开(de分开+tach=把钉子上的分开=拆开) tack v 钉住,缝合 |
