词根词缀 | 词源: mid-14c., "having the same parents," derived from german (1); cf. human/humane, urban/urbane. Main modern sense of "closely connected, relevant" (c.1600) derives from use in "Hamlet" Act V, Scene ii: "The phrase would bee more Germaine to the matter: If we could carry Cannon by our sides," which is a fig. use of the word in the now-obsolete sense of "closely related, akin" (late 15c.) in reference to things, not persons. 词根记忆: a. 关系密切的(来自同一品牌→关系密切的)[germ=seed,表示"种子"] |
