字源 bathetic (adj.)
1834, from bathos on the model of pathetic, which, however, does not come directly from pathos (see pathetic), so the formation is either erroneous or humorous. Bathotic (1863, perhaps on model of chaotic) is not much better.

【记】以bath洗澡开头地就这么一个单词, 洗澡就是很平庸的一件事.
【区】pathetic(adj 可怜悲惨的)
【反】offbeat(adj 不规则的)
趣味全助记 【记】bathos 突降,陈腐 bath- 是深的字根,pathetic 悲惨可怜
