Original sense now obsolete; main modern meaning of "money-hoarding person" first recorded c.1560, from presumed unhappiness of such people. Besides general wretchedness, the L. word connoted also "intense erotic love" (cf. slang got it bad "deeply infatuated") and hence was a favorite word of Catullus. In Gk. a miser was kyminopristes, lit. "a cumin seed splitter." In Mod.Gk., he or she might be called hekentabelones, lit. "one who has sixty needles." The Ger. word, filz, lit. "felt," preserves the image of the felt slippers which the miser often wore in caricatures. Lettish mantrausis "miser" is lit. "money-raker." 词根记忆： n. 小气鬼(小气鬼活的很可怜)[miser=wretched表示"可怜的"] 词根词缀： miser miser n 小气鬼(小气鬼活的很可怜) mmiser= wretched 表示”可怜的” miser n 小气鬼(小气鬼活的很可怜) miserable a 可怜的(miser+able) misery n 可怜,可悲(miser+y) commiserate v 怜悯,同情(com共同+miser+ate=共同可怜=怜悯) |
