| 词汇 | crescent |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： late 14c., from Anglo-Fr. cressaunt, from O.Fr. creissant, from L. crescentum (nom. crescens), pp. of crescere "come forth, spring up, grow, thrive," from PIE base *ker- "to grow" (cf. L. Ceres, goddess of agriculture, creare "to bring forth, create, produce;" Gk. kouros "boy," kore "girl;" Arm. serem "bring forth," serim "be born"). First applied to the waxing moon, luna crescens, but subsequently mistaken to mean the shape, not the stage. A badge or emblem of the Turkish sultans (probably chosen for its suggestion of "increase"); figurative sense of "Muslim political power" is from 1580s, but modern writers often falsely associate it with the Saracens of the Crusades or the Moors of Spain. Horns of the waxing moon are on the viewer's left side; those of the waning moon are on his right. Croissant is the modern Fr. form of the word. The original Latin sense is preserved in crescendo. 词根记忆： n. 新月a.新月状的(cre+escent开始…的→开始增大→新月)[cre,creas=grow,make,表示"增长,产生"] 词根词缀： crescent crescent n 新月a.新月状的(cre +escent开始…的=开始增大=新月) cre,creas=grow,make,表示”增长,产生”create v 创造(cre+ate=增长=创造) creative a 有创造性的(create+ive ) creature n 生物,创造物(create+ure=创造物,生物) recreate v 休养,再造(re再+create=再创造=休养[再创能量]) recreation n 娱乐,消遣(recreate+ion) decrease v 减少(de向下+crease增长=向下增加=减少) decrement n 减少(decrease的名词) increase v 增加(in 向内+crease向内增=增加) increment n 增加(increase的名词) crescent n 新月a.新月状的(cre +escent开始…的=开始增大=新月) decrescent a 渐小的;(月) 下弦的(de向下+crescent=向下的月亮=下弦月) procreate v繁殖,生产(pro向前+create创造=不断创造=繁殖) procreative a 有生殖力的(procreate+ive) concrete a 具体的n.混凝土(con共同+crete[=cre制造]=共同制造=混凝土) concretion n 凝结;结石(concrete+ion) |
