词源
- mollify使平静，抚慰来自拉丁语mollis,软的，词源同melt,-fy,使。即使软下来，引申词义使平静，抚慰。
- mollify安慰，安抚-ify是动词后缀；主要看词根moll，比较两个同源词melt（融化；熔化）和mild（柔和的），三者主体形式一致，元音部分有些许变化，且都来自印欧词根*mel-（柔，软），“安抚”是使急躁的情绪变柔缓，“融化”是硬的东西变柔软，“柔和的”就无需多言了。
- mollifyFrom Old French mollifier, from Latin molliō (“soften, calm”), from mollis (“soft”).
