Daisy's Musical World

I was studying Etymology

and memorizing countless words...........

I guess there are 1000 to 2000 words in total..........

"Evanescence",the name of an American band,

suddently makes me think of its etymology!!

evanesce

van - empty

esce - v. suf.: to become;to begin

Thus,"evanesce" means "to become empty" in etymology.

evanesce (v.) - to disappear gradually;
                       to grow less until completely gone

evanescent (adj.)

evanescence (n.)




Did I go crazy thanks to the finals?

I think so........................

剛剛在讀英語詞源學(Etymology)

背了一堆字

我猜應該總共有1000到2000字吧.........

"Evanescence"(伊凡塞斯)是美國一個樂團名稱,

我突然想到它的詞源!!

evanesce

van - empty(空的;無,沒有)

esce - 動詞字尾: to become;to begin(變成;開始)

所以,"evanesce"的詞源指的是"to become empty."(變成空的)

evanesce (動詞) - 逐漸消失

evanescent (形容詞)

evanescence (名詞)



我被期末考弄瘋了嘛?

我想是的..............................
