词汇 | dozen |
词根词缀 | 词源: c.1300, from O.Fr. dozeine "a dozen," from douze "twelve," from L. duodecim from duo "two" + decem "ten" (see ten). The O.Fr. fem. suffix -aine is characteristically added to cardinals to form collectives in a precise sense ("exactly 12," not "about 12"). The dozens "invective contest" (1928) originated in slave culture, the custom probably African, the word probably from bulldoze (q.v.) in its original sense of "a whipping, a thrashing." 词根记忆: n. 一打,十二个The doctor's doctrine undid one dollar and a dozen of collars.博士的学说毁掉了一美元和一打衣领. |
