1. strive, strife 是同源词(v f),因此它们的含义很相近;其实,stride 与 strive, strife 也是同源词,只是 stride 的引申义引申得比较远,因此仅从含义上看不出它们的同源性。2. 古高地德语:*strit- "fight, combat, contention; quarrel, dispute" => 古法语:*strit- / *strif- "quarrel, dispute" => strife => strive.3. 古高地德语:*strit- "fight, combat, contention" => *strid- => stride (其字面含义,其实就是两条腿之间的对峙、竞争,两条腿怎样才能形成对峙呢,当然就是叉开腿,形成跨步、跨立姿势),由此引申出了如今的含义,straddle 就是 stride 的同源同引申义的词.4. *strid- => *strad- + -le (双写d加-le, 反复体后缀)。5. st- (stand => st-) + ride => stride, 当然就是站着往前大步走了。6. stride => straddle.7. 在大街上骑着马大跨步行走。
excess 超过来自exceed, 超过。-ss, 过去分词后缀。
excess (n.)late 14c., from Old French exces (14c.) "excess, extravagance, outrage," from Latin excessus "departure, a going beyond the bounds of reason or beyond the subject," from stem of excedere "to depart, go beyond" (see exceed). As an adjective from late 15c."
