appall词源中文解释

也有 appal，早在14世纪，意为“褪色”；约在1400年，意为“变得苍白”，源自古法语 apalir “变得或使变得苍白”，由 a- “向”（见 ad-)和 palir “变得苍白”组成，源自拉丁语 pallere “变得苍白”（源自 PIE 词根 *pel-（1）“苍白”）。及物动词意为“使惊愕或震惊”，始见于1530年代。相关词汇： Appalled； appalling。

appall词源英文解释

Middle English apallen, appallen "to grow faint (of strength), fade (of emotions), dim (of honor, fame), (transitive) to make fade, allay, tarnish," probably borrowed from Middle French apalir "to become pale, make pale," going back to Old French, from a-, prefix forming transitive verbs (going back to Latin ad- ad-) + palir "to become pale" — more at pale >entry 2 Note: The origin of this verb is not completely clear. In Middle English both ap(p)allen and pallen "to pall >entry 1," taken as an aphetic form of ap(p)allen, consistently show spellings with a double l that reflect short a, which is confirmed by the modern outcome [pɔl]; note the rhyme falleth / appalleth in Gower's Confessio Amantis. If Middle French apalir is the source, there would appear to be scant grounds for -ll-, as unprefixed palir yields Middle English palen, modern pale. In Anglo-French apalir is apparently unattested—or at least not entered in the Anglo-Norman Dictionary—though palir is occasionally attested with -ll-. Both ap(p)allen and pallen at a fairly early date show semantic extension well beyond the literal base "to make pale."

The first known use of appall was in the 14th century
