| 词汇 | metaphysics |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： late 14c., "branch of speculation which deals with the first causes of things," from M.L. metaphysica, neut. pl. of Medieval Gk. (ta) metaphysika, from Gk. ta meta ta physika "the (works) after the Physics," title of the 13 treatises which traditionally were arranged after those on physics and natural sciences in Aristotle's writings. The name was given c.70 B.C.E. by Andronicus of Rhodes, and was a ref. to the customary ordering of the books, but it was misinterpreted by L. writers as meaning "the science of what is beyond the physical." Hence, metaphysical came to be used in the sense of "abstract, speculative" (e.g. by Johnson, who applied it to certain 17c. poets, notably Donne and Cowley, who used "witty conceits" and abstruse imagery). The word originally was used in English in the singular; plural form predominated after 17c., but singular made a comeback late 19c. in certain usages under German influence. 词根记忆： 形而上学(meta+physics物质;物理→物质之上的学科→形而上学)[meta-表示"超过,改变"] n. 形而上学(meta上面+phys形体+ics)[-ics表名词、,"学科,学术"] 词根词缀： metaphysics metaphysics n 形而上学(meta上面+phys形体+ics) -ics表名词 ,”学科,学术” pediatrics n 小儿科(pediatr儿童+ics医学科) metaphysics n 形而上学(meta上面+phys形体+ics) didactics n 教学法(didact教育者+ics ) aesthetics n 美学(aesthet感觉+ics) athetics n 运动学(athlet运动+ics) homiletics n 讲道术(homilet说教+ics) genetics n 遗传学(gene基因+t+ics) detetics n 饮食学(diet饮食+et+ics) logistics n 后勤学(log词语,逻辑+ist+ice…逻辑地安排事务…后勤) linguistics n 语言学(linguist语言学家+ics) aeronautics n 航空学(aeronaut航空家+ics) economics n 经济学(economy经济+ics) mechanics n 机械学(mechan[=machine]+ics) |
