詞態(tài)變化
助記提示
2、該單詞最初的含義是:(殉難者的)痛苦,病痛;后來,受希臘語的影響,為了表示希臘語單詞pathos的含義,進而擴展了拉丁語單詞passio的含義,使其具有pathos的含義。因此,詞根pass-也就具有了詞根path-的部分含義。相關(guān)信息的英語說明,請看下一條。
3、meaning "strong emotion, desire" is attested from late 14c., from Late Latin use of passio to render Greek pathos.
4. 諧音:拍胸→說話動不動就拍胸特有激情(passion)
中文詞源

英文詞源
- passion
- passion: [12] Latin patī meant ‘suffer’ (it is the source of English patient). From its past participial stem pass- was coined in postclassical times the noun passiō, denoting specifically the ‘suffering of Christ on the cross’. English acquired the word via Old French passion, but its familiar modern senses, in which ‘strength of feeling’ has been transferred from ‘pain’ to ‘sexual attraction’ and ‘a(chǎn)nger’, did not emerge until the 16th century. Also from the Latin stem pass- comes passive [14], etymologically ‘capable of suffering’.
=> passive, patient - passion (n.)
- late 12c., "sufferings of Christ on the Cross," from Old French passion "Christ's passion, physical suffering" (10c.), from Late Latin passionem (nominative passio) "suffering, enduring," from past participle stem of Latin pati "to suffer, endure," possibly from PIE root *pe(i)- "to hurt" (see fiend).
Sense extended to sufferings of martyrs, and suffering generally, by early 13c.; meaning "strong emotion, desire" is attested from late 14c., from Late Latin use of passio to render Greek pathos. Replaced Old English tolung (used in glosses to render Latin passio), literally "suffering," from tolian (v.) "to endure." Sense of "sexual love" first attested 1580s; that of "strong liking, enthusiasm, predilection" is from 1630s. The passion-flower so called from 1630s.The name passionflower -- flos passionis -- arose from the supposed resemblance of the corona to the crown of thorns, and of the other parts of the flower to the nails, or wounds, while the five sepals and five petals were taken to symbolize the ten apostles -- Peter ... and Judas ... being left out of the reckoning. ["Encyclopaedia Britannica," 1885]
