subtle词源中文解释
公元1300年左右（13世纪中期作为姓氏）， sotil，“有洞察力的； 精巧的； 精致的”（指思维）； “复杂的，深奥的”（指论点），源自古法语 sotil， soutil， subtil “熟练的，灵巧的； 狡猾的，聪明的； 详细的； 精心制作的”（12世纪，现代法语 subtil），源自拉丁语 subtilis “细，薄，精致的，细织的； 比喻中的‘精确的，准确的，精细的’，在品味或判断上的‘精细的，敏锐的’，在风格上的‘简单的，朴素的，直接的’”，源自 sub “在...下面”（见 sub-)，加上 -tilis，源自 tela “网，织物的纬线”，源自 PIE 词根 *teks- “编织”，也指“制造”。根据沃特金斯的说法，这个概念是指最细的线穿过纬线。
从14世纪初开始，指事物，“稀薄的”； 指工匠，“狡猾的，熟练的，聪明的”； 贬义的意思“阴险的，狡诈的； 欺骗的”来自14世纪中期。指“不密集或粘稠，轻盈的； 纯净的； 细的，纤细的； 由小颗粒组成的”等物质意义来自14世纪末。sotil wares 是指以粉末或细磨形式出售的商品。拼写部分重新拉丁化，并与 subtile 混淆。
