词源
- letter信,字母来自拉丁语litera,字母,文字,词源同literal.引申词义信件。
- letter字母,书信letter这个词来源于拉丁词littera,意思是“字母”,同linere(涂沫)可能是近亲。同出于littera一源的还有一些词,如literal(文字上的),即“一个字母、一个字母地”;literature(文学);illiterate(文盲),即“不识字母的”:“文人”,英语叫a literary man或a man of letters. Littera的复数是litterae,意思是“书信”。当你把一个个字母写在一起时,你就写成了“书信”,因此letter还作“书信”解。
- letter字母,文字;信,函件;(来源于拉丁语名词littera, litterae, f(字母)。 -liter-文字,字母 → letter文字,字母
