perfect的词源

英文词源

perfect: perfect: [13] Something that is perfect is etymologically ‘completely made’. The word comes via Old French parfit from Latin perfectus, the past participle of perficere ‘finish’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix per- ‘completely’ and facere ‘do, make’ (source of English fact, fashion, etc). The modern English form perfect, a reversion to the Latin spelling, emerged in the 15th century.
=> fact, factory, fashion
perfect (adj.): early 15c. alteration of Middle English parfit (c. 1300), from Old French parfit "finished, completed, ready" (11c.), from Latin perfectus "completed, excellent, accomplished, exquisite," past participle of perficere "accomplish, finish, complete," from per- "completely" (see per) + facere "to make, do, perform" (see factitious).
