词态变化


副词: gorgeously;

助记提示


1. from Old french gorgias, "finely dressed, luxurious", formed from the name of Gorgias, a Greek sophist and rhetorician, who took pleasure in showing off his luxury.
2. => "splendid, showy" (of clothing).
3. 因此要注意的是,该词与 gorge 并没有什么关系,首部相同只是巧合而已。

中文词源


gorgeous 壮观的,非常漂亮的

可能来自gorge,喉咙,吞没,咽口水,比喻极其壮观或美丽的事物和人。

英英释意


1. dazzlingly beautiful;
"a gorgeous Victorian gown"

英文词源


gorgeous (adj.)
c. 1500, "splendid, showy, sumptuously adorned" (of clothing), from Middle French gorgias "elegant, fashionable," of unknown origin; perhaps a special use of gorgias "necklace" (and thus "fond of or resembling jewelry"), from Old French gorge "throat," also "something adorning the throat" (see gorge (n.)). A connection to the Greek proper name Gorgias (supposedly in reference to a notorious sophist) also has been proposed. Related: Gorgeousness.
