profligate词源中文解释

1520年代,“被推翻的,溃败的,被征服的”(现在在这个意义上已经过时),源自拉丁语 profligatus “被摧毁的,被毁坏的,腐败的,被遗弃的,放荡的”,过去分词 profligare “推倒,打败,毁灭”,由 pro “向下,向前”(见 pro-)和 fligere “打击”(见 afflict)组成。

主要现代意义“鲁莽挥霍”始于1779年,通过“道德败坏,沉溺于恶习”的概念(1640年代,隐含在 profligation 的用法中,这是一个从15世纪中叶开始使用的过时词语,但最初的意义是“消除,放逐”)。相关: Profligately。作为名词,“一个失去了所有良好原则的人”,始于1709年。
