phrase的词源
英文词源
- phrase
- phrase: [16] Greek phrásis ‘speech, way of speaking’ was a derivative of the verb phrázein ‘show, explain’. English adopted it via Latin phrasis as phrasis, whose plural phrases eventually gave rise to a new singular phrase. From the same source comes periphrasis [16].
=> periphrasis - phrase (n.)
- 1520s, "manner or style of expression," also "group of words with some unity," from Late Latin phrasis "diction," from Greek phrasis "speech, way of speaking, enunciation, phraseology," from phrazein "to express, tell," from phrazesthai "to consider," from PIE *gwhren- "to think" (see frenetic). The musical sense of "short passage" is from 1789.
- phrase (v.)
- "to put into a phrase," 1560s; see phrase (n.). Related: Phrased; phrasing.
