释义:
adj. 惊人的;过分的;恶名昭彰的
例句:
1. When it comes to blatant lies, there are none more egregious than budget figures谈到公众谎言,没有比预算数字更令人震惊的

1. e- "ex-, out of" + gregi- + -ous.2. 其本意为:rising above the flock, 用咱们汉语成语形象地形容就是“鹤立鸡群”的意思。3. 然后含义由此引申为:杰出的,突出的,卓越的;后来这层含义成为了古语,其含义进一步引申为表示:极坏的,极恶劣的,令人震惊的,异乎寻常的;也就是表示贬义的那种“鹤立鸡群”。
egregious 极坏的e-, 向外。-greg, 群,集中,词源同yard, gregarious. 原义为鹤立鸡群的,极好的,现义贬义化。参照拉丁文egregium, 非凡,伟业。
egregiousegregious: see segregateegregious (adj.)1530s, "distinguished, eminent, excellent," from Latin egregius "distinguished, excellent, extraordinary," from the phrase ex grege "rising above the flock," from ex "out of" (see ex-) + grege, ablative of grex "herd, flock" (see gregarious). Disapproving sense, now predominant, arose late 16c., originally ironic. It is not in the Latin word, which etymologically means simply "exceptional." Related: Egregiously; egregiousness."
