词根:complaisant
n.complaisance 殷勤;彬彬有礼;柔顺
Adjective
1. showing a cheerful willingness to do favors for others;
"to close one's eyes like a complaisant husband whose wife has taken a lover"
"the obliging waiter was in no hurry for us to leave"
1640年代,“彬彬有礼,渴望取悦他人”; 1670年代,“愿意顺从他人的意愿”; 源自法语 complaisant “愉悦的,乐于助人的,亲切的”(16世纪),是 complaire “顺从以取悦”的现在分词,源自拉丁语 complacere “非常令人愉悦”(参见 complacent,它们在意义上重叠,直到19世纪中期)。法语拼写可能受到了古法语 plaire “取悦”的影响。相关词: Complaisantly。
French, from Middle French, from present participle of complaire to gratify, acquiesce, from Latin complacēre
