robust的词源
英文词源
- robust
- robust: [16] By a series of semantic twists, robust is related to red. It comes ultimately from Indo- European *reudh- ‘red’ (source of English red). This produced Latin rōbus, which was applied to a particular sort of oak tree with reddish wood. The oak being synonymous with strength, rōbus in due course came to mean ‘strength’. This was carried over into the derived rōbustus ‘firm, strong, solid’, from which English gets robust, and also into the verb rōborāre ‘strengthen’, source of English corroborate [16].
=> corroborate, red - robust (adj.)
- 1540s, from Middle French robuste (14c.) and directly from Latin robustus "strong and hardy," literally "as strong as oak," originally "oaken," from robur, robus "hard timber, strength," also "a special kind of oak," named for its reddish heartwood, from Latin ruber "red" (related to robigo "rust"), from PIE *reudh- (see red (adj.1)). Related: Robustly; robustness. Robustious (1540s) was a common form in 17c. (see "Hamlet" iii.2); it fell from use by mid-18c., but was somewhat revived by mid-19c. antiquarian writers.
中文词源
robust（健壮的）：一种特别坚硬的红色橡木
古代罗马人发现一种颜色发红的橡木质地特别坚硬，因此广泛使用这种橡木作为建筑材料。这种橡木在拉丁语中称为rubus，来自ruber（red，红色）。rubus的形容词是robustus，本意是“rubus做的”。由于rubus特别坚硬，因此robustus也就衍生出“坚硬、强壮，像橡树一样”的意思。英语单词robust就来源于robustus。
