The notion underlying escort is of 'guidance', of 'showing the right path'.2. ex- => es- + (correct => corrig- => corg- => cort-) => escort.3. 词源上这个词和correct同源,但引申较多,在此用联想。es前缀“外边”,cort看成cart(二轮运货马车),字面义“在马车外”。古时护镖人跟随马车一路前行,又有关云长千里走单骑护送兄妻,也是一路走在马车外边。n. 竹,竹子vt. 为…装上篾条adj. 竹制的;土著居民的 例句: 1.

This was brought back to Europe by the Portuguese explorers, and enjoyed a brief currency in English from the 17th to the 18th century. However, for reasons no one can explain, the initial m of this word became changed to b, and it acquired an s at the end, producing a form found in Latin texts of the time as bambusa. This appears to have passed into English via Dutch bamboes, so the earliest English version of the word was bambos. As so often happens in such cases, the final s was misinterpreted as a plural ending, so it dropped off to give the new ‘singular’ bamboo.bamboo (n.)1590s, from Dutch bamboe, from Portuguese bambu, earlier mambu (16c.), probably from Malay samambu, though some suspect this is itself an imported word." |
