“plainly illogical,” 1550年代,源自法语 absurde(16世纪),源自拉丁语 absurdus “不和谐的,不协调的”; 比喻为“不协调的,愚蠢的,傻的,无意义的”,由 ab- “离开,远离”组成,这里可能是一个强调前缀,加上 surdus “迟钝的,聋的,哑的”,可能来自一个模拟的印欧语根,意思是“嗡嗡声,耳语声”(见 susurration)。因此,基本意义可能是“不和谐的”,但德·范写道,“由于‘聋’通常有两个语义方面,即‘听不到’和‘没有被听到’, ab-surdus 可以解释为‘闻所未闻的’……”现代英语的意义是拉丁的比喻意义,可能是“与理性或适当性不协调”。相关词汇: Absurdly; absurdness。
