dearth n.缺乏；粮食不足 (1) 关于这个课题还缺乏可靠资料。(2) 目前似乎好的年轻选手太少了。(3) 很多士兵因为缺少粮食死去。(4) 谷物匮乏造成价格上涨。 Dearth is an Old English noun formed from the adjective deore "precious, costly" and the noun-forming suffix -th. Though the relationship of dearth meaning "lack, insufficient amount" to the adjective dear is not so obvious, it is still easy to imagine that something precious is probably also in short supply.
