| 词汇 | quaint |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： early 13c., "cunning, proud, ingenious," from O.Fr. cointe "pretty, clever, knowing," from L. cognitus "known," pp. of cognoscere "get or come to know well" (see cognizance). Sense of "old-fashioned but charming" is first attested 1795, and could describe the word itself, which had become rare after c.1700 (though it soon recovered popularity in this secondary sense). Chaucer used quaint and queynte as spellings of cunt in "Canterbury Tales" (c.1386), and Andrew Marvell may be punning on it similarly in "To His Coy Mistress" (1650). 词根记忆： a. 奇妙的,古怪的(人们想要知道怎么回事)[quaint=know,表示"知道"] 词根词缀： quaint quaint a 奇妙的,古怪的(人们想要知道怎么回事) quaint=know,表示”知道” quaint a 奇妙的,古怪的(人们想要知道怎么回事) acquaint v 使了解,告知(acc使+quaint=使[人们]知道=告知) acquaintance n 了解,熟悉(acquaint告知+ance表名词) |
