词汇 | fierce |
词根词缀 | 词源: mid-13c., from O.Fr. fers, nom. form of fer, fier "wild, ferocious," from L. ferus "wild, untamed," from PIE base *gwer- "wild, wild animal" (cf. Gk. ther, O.C.S. zveri, Lith. zveris "wild beast"). Originally in English also with a sense of "brave, proud," which died out 16c., but caused the word at first to be commonly used as an epithet, which accounts for the rare instance of a French word entering English in the nom. case. 词根记忆: a. 凶猛的,残忍的;狂热的,强烈的The unyielding man fiercely pierced the shield in the field.那个不屈的人凶猛地刺穿田野里的盾牌. |
