mediocre词源中文解释

1580年代,"中等程度或质量的,既不好也不坏",源自16世纪的法语 médiocre,源自拉丁语 mediocris "中等高度或状态的,适度的,普通的",比喻为"平庸的,卑劣的,低劣的",字面意思是"半山腰"。这来自于 medius "中间"(源自 PIE 词根 *medhyo- "中间")+ ocris "多刺的山"(与希腊语 okris "山峰,尖顶",威尔士语 ochr "角落,边界",拉丁语 acer "尖锐"同源; 源自 PIE 词根 *ak- "尖锐,上升(出)到一个点,刺穿")。

作为名词,"平庸的事物或人",1834年开始使用。中古英语有 mediokerli(副词)"平庸地"(15世纪早期)。

mediocre词源英文解释

borrowed from Middle French & Latin; Middle French, borrowed from Latin mediocris "of medium size, moderate, middling, commonplace," perhaps originally "halfway to the top," from medius "middle, central" + -ocris, adjective derivative from the base of Old Latin ocris "rugged mountain," going back to Indo-European *h2oḱ-r-i- "point, peak, edge" (whence also Umbrian ukar, ocar "citadel," Middle Irish ochair "edge, border," Welsh ochr, Greek ókris "top, point, corner"), derivative of *h2eḱ- "pointed" — more at mid >entry 1, edge >entry 1 Note: The base *h2oḱ-r-i- forms a pair with *h2eḱ-r- "sharp, pointed" (see acro-) and the two have been explained as part of an original "acrostatic" paradigm of a noun, with fixed stress on the root, o-vocalism in the direct cases and e-vocalism in the oblique cases, with Indo-European daughter languages generalizing one form or another. Note that Greek has both ókris, as above, and ákris "hilltop, mountain peak." Perhaps also belonging here is Sanskrit aśri- "corner, angle, edge" (see at acro-), where the vowel may be either *a or *o.

The first known use of mediocre was circa 1586
