importunate
"骚扰,强求",1520年代,由 importunity 反构成,或者来自法语 importuner,源自中世纪拉丁语 importunari “使自己麻烦”,源自拉丁语 importunus “不适合的,不利的,麻烦的”,字面意思是“没有港口”(因此“难以进入”),来自于 in- 的同化形式“不,相反的”(见 in-(1))+ portus “港口”(见 port(n.1))。相关词汇: Importuned; importuning。作为形容词出现于15世纪早期。Portunus 是罗马的港口神; 因此 Portunium 是“Portunus 神庙”。
Verb borrowed from Middle French & Medieval Latin; Middle French importuner "to tire, annoy by inappropriate persistence," borrowed from Medieval Latin importūnāre "to harass, pester," verbal derivative of Latin importūnus "unfavorable, inconvenient, adverse, troublesome, relentless" — more at importune >entry 2 Adjective Middle English, "persistent, overeager, fierce, cruel, grievous, troublesome," borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, "persistently troublesome," borrowed from Latin importūnus "not suited to one's purpose, unfavorable, inconvenient, adverse, unaccommodating, troublesome, relentless," probably from im- im- + -portūnus (in opportūnus "favoring one's needs, serviceable, convenient") — more at opportune Note: The Latin adjective importūnus appears to have been formed as a negative counterpart to opportūnus.
The first known use of importune was in the 15th century
