词源

  • veil面纱，遮蔽物
    来源于拉丁语velum(帆,窗帘,面罩),经盎格鲁-诺曼底语veile进入英语。 同源词：reveal, revelation, unveil词组/短语：draw a veil over 避而不谈,隐瞒
  • veil面纱；掩饰
    这个单词很好记，它和reveal（揭露）同源，其中re为前缀“往回”，veal为词根“面纱”，相当于单词veil，所以reveal的字面意思就是“揭回面纱”，将覆盖于事物之上的面纱去除，就是“揭露”了。逻辑很像discover（发现）“移除覆盖物”，及detect（查明）“移除盖子”。
  • veil面纱
    来自拉丁语 velum,帘布，帆，引申词义面纱。
