后綴-ery含義、詞源和例詞
漢:抽象名詞以及所有名詞后綴ery意為"state,quality,act,place where"。后綴-ery來源于法語,主要充當派生后綴,可以加在兩類單詞后面:
1)加在動詞后面表示 a place for ~ing (做...的場所)
2)加在名詞后面,這時-ery意思比較復雜,它可以表示a place for ~ing (做...的場所);the art or occupation of a ~ (...的技藝);a group of ~s(...的群休或集體)。
英:
-erya suffix of nouns denoting occupation, business, calling or condition, place or establishment, goods or products, things collectively, qualities, actions, etc.: archery; bakery; cutlery; fishery;
trickery; witchery.
Origin:
Middle English < Old French -erie, equivalent to -ier -er2 + -ie -y3
