- corpse




- corpse: [14] Latin corpus ‘body’ has two direct descendants in English: corpse, which came via Old French cors, and corps [18], which came via modern French corps. The former first entered English in the 13th century as cors, and during the 14th century it had its original Latin p reinserted. At first it meant simply ‘body’, but by the end of the 14th century the current sense ‘dead body’ was becoming firmly established.
The idea originally underlying corps, on the other hand, was of a small ‘body’ of troops. Other English derivatives of corpus include corporal, corporate [15], from the past participle of Latin corporāre ‘make into a body’, corpulent [14], two diminutives corpuscle [17] and corset [14], and corsage [15]. Corpus itself was acquired in the 14th century.
=> corporal, corporate, corpulent, corset

横隔膜是胸腔和腹腔之间的分隔,它位于心脏和双侧肺脏的下面,肝脏、脾脏、胃的上方,就像一个大圆盘平放在身体内部分隔了胸腹腔。由于横膈膜与心脏距离较近,古人看到人情绪激动时心跳也会加快,便以为横膈膜是负责人精神状态的器官,因此英语中表示“横膈膜”的词根fren-(phren-、phreno-)同时还可以表示“精神”,产生了很多与“精神”相关的单词。
