amazing-intelligent:惊奇一定是困惑的
【造词理据】a-为起强调作用的前缀,-ing是后缀,词根maze表令人困惑的,M表海水,借指混乱(可参考mix,加水就是混合),在这里令人不解的奇观,也指令人惊奇的。
【例句】It is amazing, because at the end of the day you think it is the same thingagain for the whole time all over again.
这很神奇,因为前一天你还在想对整个车队来说同样的事情再次重复。
【同根词】amaze、maze、mazy。
【讨论】该词词源仅仅追溯到古英语,认为与方言有关。造词视角,属于魔法师的推测。
【造词理据】混成词。词根so指自己(self),反身代词;词根lve源自PIE词根*leu-(松开、松散),L表赶牛的刺棒,引申指驱赶、驱散。这里指事物或问题自身散开的、解决、溶解。
