词源
- whole完整的,无缺的;全体的,全部的来源于史前日耳曼语khailaz。 同源词:heal, health词组/短语:as a whole (adv.)作为一个整体on the whole (adv.)总的说来
- whole全部的;整个的这是一个比较古老的词,在古英语中词形为hāl/hæl,原意是“健康的”、“完全的”。whole这一词形是大约在16世纪由hole加上字母w构成的。当时有不少首字母为h的词都一度在词首加上w,如hood(风帽;车篷),hoard(囤积;贮藏),hore(妓女)等,到现在只有whore(妓女)一词还保留着首字母w。 wholesome(对健康有益的;有益于身心健康的)是由whole加形容词后缀-some所构成,在古英语中作hālsum,至今还保留着whole的原始词义。 hale是whole的姐妹词,也可以说是whole的变体,始用于13世纪,至今仍有较强的生命力,一般用于固定短语hale and hearty,意思是“精神矍铄的”。 此外,还有heal(治愈),health(健康)这两个词在词形和词义上与whole,hale有较密切的亲缘关系。
- whole全部的来自古英语 hal,整个的,完整的,健康的,来自 PIE*kailo,整个的,词源同 health,holy,hollow. wholesale 批发的
