importune词源中文解释

"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”。
