前綴contra-,contro-,countrer-
漢:contra來(lái)源于拉丁語(yǔ),意為"against,contrary,opposite"。contro,counter是它的變形。前綴contra-原是拉丁介詞,意思為against 或opposite,它主要出現(xiàn)在直接引進(jìn)英語(yǔ)的拉丁詞中,是個(gè)只與拉丁詞根綴合的原生詞綴。但是與contra-綴合的詞基恰好是英語(yǔ)中的拉丁借詞,在這種情況下,也可以把它看作派生詞綴。
英:word-forming element meaning "against, in opposition," from Latin adverb and preposition contra (see contra). The Latin word was used as a prefix in Late Latin. In French, it became contre- and passed into English as counter-. The Old English equivalent was wiðer (surviving in withers and widdershins), from wið "with, against."
