词汇 | gamble |
词根词缀 | 词源: gamble (v.) 1726 (implied in gambling), from a dialectal survival of M.E. gammlen, variant of gamenen "to play, jest, be merry," from O.E. gamenian "to play," from gamen (see game). Or possibly gamble is from a derivative of gamel "to play games" (1594), itself likely a frequentative from game. Originally regarded as a slang word. The intrusive -b- may be from confusion with gambol. 词根记忆: n. /v.投机,冒险;赌博He has gambled away all his wealth.他赌博输掉了全部财产. |
