前綴 Uni-, mono-(單一, 單獨(dú))
漢:來源于拉丁語,意為“one”,在元音字母前i脫落。
英:
mono-
word-forming element meaning "one, alone; containing one (atom, etc.)," from Gk. mono-, comb. form of monos "single, alone," from PIE root *men- "small, isolated" (cf. Gk. manos "rare, sparse," Armenian manr "thin, slender, small," and perhaps English minnow).
uni-
word-forming element meaning "having one only," from L. uni-, comb. form of unus (see one).
unanimity
n.complete agreement or unity;全體一致。在這個(gè)單詞中由于單詞animity前的a是元音字母,所以,前綴uni中的i脫落掉了,詞anim=mind

unicorn
n. horse-like animal with one long horn獨(dú)角獸,詞根corn=horn(蹄,角)
