助記提示
1、該單詞原本屬于ingenuous單詞的變形，因此，在含義上原本也應該趨同，但是，由于在歷史上的一段時期內(nèi)，ingenious和ingenuous兩個單詞被混用，導致了ingenuity接受了ingenious的含義，隨著歷史的發(fā)展，該單詞后來又拋棄了原本的含義，使其含義與ingenious趨同，因此，該單詞算是另類，不能直接從詞根上解釋，要特別注意，加強區(qū)別和記憶。

英文詞源
- ingenuity (n.)
- 1590s, "honor, nobility," from Middle French ingénuité and directly from Latin ingenuitatem (nominative ingenuitas) "condition of a free-born man," figuratively "generosity, noble-mindedness," from ingenuus (see ingenuous). Etymologically, this word belongs to ingenuous, but in 17c. ingenious and ingenuous so often were confused (even by Shakespeare) that ingenuity has acquired the meaning "capacity for invention or construction" (first attested 1640s).
