词源

  • sinister
    来自中世纪英语sinistre("unlucky"), 来自古法语sinistra("left"), 来自拉丁语sinestra("left hand").
  • sinister(凶兆的):左为凶兆的迷信
    英语单词sinister来自拉丁语sinister,本意是“左边的”,是dexter(右边的)的反义词。由于古代欧洲人认为左为凶兆的迷信思想,sinister进入英语后,衍生出“凶兆的,阴险的”等负面含义。 sinister:['sɪnɪstə] adj.阴险的,凶兆的,灾难性的,左边
  • sinister左边的,邪恶的,凶恶的
    来自古法语 sinistre,向左的,不利的,来自拉丁语 sinister,左边。词义演变来自“左”在古代 与邪恶,凶恶相联系的隐含义。比较 dextrose,右旋糖,dexterity,灵巧,灵活。
