词源
- ambiguous模棱两可的发音释义:[æm'bɪgjʊəs] adj. 模棱两可的;引起歧义的 结构分析:ambiguous = ambi(四处)+ gu(带领)+ous(形容词后缀)→四处漫游的→指向不明的、模棱两可的 词源解释:ambi←拉丁语ambi(四处、周围);gu←拉丁语agere (带领) 同源词:ambiguity(模棱两可的话、含糊)
- ambiguous模棱两可的,含糊其词的使用ambiguous 一词的第一人似乎是英国人文主义者奠尔( Sir Thomas More,1477 -1535),他在《关于异端的对话》(A DiaLogue Concerning Heresies,1528)一书中写道:“If it were now doubtful and ambiguous whether the church of Christ were in the right rule of doctrine or not.”该词来自拉丁语ambiguus‘doubtful’,而ambiguus又是从动词ambigere‘go/drive round’派生出来的。其成分ambi-含有both ways(二者,二)之意,故ambiguous被用以表示“模棱两可的”或“含糊其词的”。 ambi-已被作为前缀吸收到英语中来,用以构成新词,如ambisextrous(不分男女的,对两性都有吸引力的),ambidextrous(两手都善用的)等。
- ambiguous含糊的,模棱两可的来源于拉丁语中由前缀ambi-(在…周围)和基本动词agere(驾驶,引导)组成的复合词ambigere (争论,犹豫)派生的ambiguus(可改变的,摇摆的,有争议的)。 词根词缀: -amb-在…周围 + -ig-驾驶,引导 + -uous形容词词尾
