| 字源 | enormity (n.) late 15c., "transgression, crime, irregularity," from Old French énormité "extravagance, enormity, atrocity, heinous sin," from Latin enormitatem (nominative enormitas) "hugeness, vastness, irregularity," from enormis (see enormous). Meaning "extreme wickedness" in English attested from 1560s; sense of "hugeness" (1792) is etymological but probably best avoided to prevent misunderstanding. |
| 不择手段背单词 | n. 穷兇极恶(超过所有道德限制的骇人听闻的罪恶) = wickedness; 巨大 = immensity 【记】e出, norm正常－不是一般的罪恶(该词太恶了, 恐怕四大恶人加起来也不及这一个单词的程度, 不过我还是找到了一个人, 程度比enormity还深－李宏志－刚刚看过新闻: 又一屁轮功弟子杀父弑妻, 这等暴行恐怖在美利坚都是不多见的) 【参】enormous(adj 巨大的; 庞大的) |
| 趣味全助记 | 【记】e 出，越乎 + normal 正常→超常；enormous 巨大的 并且必须还是immoral(与enormity发音接近)的，非常的不道德，暴行 |
