词源
- brace支撑物、固定物发音释义:[breɪs] n.支撑物;固定物;牙套;钳子;大括号vt.使固定;加强;支撑;振奋 词源解释:brace出现于14世纪早期,本意是防护胳臂的盔甲片或用于捆扎的皮带,源自古法语brace或braz(胳臂或一臂之长)。作动词时表示用胳臂的动作,如支撑、抓握,后来词义逐渐集中于“使其固定”、“使其能经受住冲击”,并影响了其名词的含义。 衍生词:embrace(拥抱←进入双臂内);bracelet(手镯←胳臂上的小物品);bracer(护腕、护肘);brassiere(胸罩);bracing(令人振奋的、背带、支柱) 助记窍门:brace→bra(胸罩)→支撑物、固定物
- brace箍子,大括号来自拉丁词bracchia, 手臂。词源同brief, 短的。原指两手合抱,表支持义,后指箍子,括号等。
- brace大括号,大括弧;夹具,支架;(英)(裤子)背带,吊带来源于拉丁语brachium(手臂)
