单词 dignity 由词根 dign 扩展而来,词根虽然有价,但扩展的单词却牵扯到一些无价的东西,一起来看看吧 ~
词根 dign,来源于拉丁语 dignus,它的变形为 dain,意为 worthy,即“有价值的”意思。
dignity [ˈdɪgnəti]
TOEFL/SAT/CET6/GRE/考研
n.尊严;高贵;体面
dignity 本意是有价值的东西,但它引申后所指的基本都是有关于人的比较高大上的东西,比如“尊严、威望、威严和高贵”等等,当然使用的时候也比较严肃哦
1)词根 dign/dain,表示“有价值的”,例如:
disdain v.鄙视;轻蔑
dainty adj.美味的;讲究的
dignified adj.有尊严的,高贵的
indignity n.侮辱,轻蔑
indignant adj.愤愤不平的;气愤的
2)后缀 ity,典型的名词后缀,例如:
obesity n.过度肥胖
curiosity n.好奇,好奇心
commodity n.商品,日用品
personality n.个性,品格
★ 变形时刻:dignity = dign(有价值)+ ity(表示名词)= 有价值的东西 → 人活着就要有尊严,人的尊严当然很有价值,甚至是无价的。
self-respect n.自尊
honor n.荣耀,名誉
majesty n.威严;权威
nobility n.高贵,高尚
reputation n.名声,声望
shame n.羞耻,羞愧
humble adj.低下的,谦逊的
