词源

  • sloth怠惰；树懒
    这种南美洲萌物的名字的字面意思是“the slow-moving animal”。sloth实际就是slow+抽象名词后缀-th，比如width [wɪdθ] n.宽度；广度是wide+th，depth [depθ] n.深度，是deep+th，strength [streŋθ] n.力量；兵力；长处，是strong+th等。哎，怪不得叫“懒”呢。
  • sloth
    From Middle English slouthe, slewthe, from Old English slǣwþ ‎(“sloth, indolence, laziness, inertness, torpor”), from Proto-Germanic *slaiwiþō ‎(“slowness, lateness”), equivalent to slow +‎ -th. Cognate with Scots sleuth ‎(“sloth, slowness”).
