前綴inter-,intel-,enter-的詞源、意思和例詞
拉丁前綴inter-來(lái)源于拉丁介詞inter,意思相當(dāng)于 between(在…之間) 或 among (在…的中間)。inter-本是原生詞綴,它出現(xiàn)在從法語(yǔ)引進(jìn)的拉丁詞中。但是,現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)成為英語(yǔ)的派生前綴,可以與不同語(yǔ)源的動(dòng)詞、名詞相結(jié)合,表示between,mutually,mutual等意思。與動(dòng)詞結(jié)合時(shí),inter-是個(gè)副詞性前綴,不改變?cè)~基單詞的詞性;與名詞結(jié)合時(shí),它是形容詞或介詞性前綴。當(dāng)它作為介詞性前綴與名詞結(jié)合時(shí),可能改變?cè)~基的詞性,生成形容詞。inter-的異體intel-只能作原生詞綴,出現(xiàn)在intellect等少數(shù)單詞中。與前綴inter-形近的前綴有intro,intra 意為“在內(nèi),向內(nèi)”,注意不要混淆。
另外,前綴inter-有以下幾種變形。
1. intel- [在輔音字母I前]
intelligent, intellectual
2.enter- (emtr-)[用于法語(yǔ)系統(tǒng)]
entertainer, enterprising, entrepreneur
