英[?n'wi?]
美[ɑn'wi]
- n. （法）厭倦，無聊；倦怠
助記提示
1. odium "hatred" => odi- "hatred" => in + odi- => "in hatred" => noi- / -noy (縮合而成的詞根，這是在被借入、進(jìn)入法語后由于縮合而導(dǎo)致的前面的 i 和中間的 d 脫落、消失)。
2. noi- / -noy => 變體詞根：nui- => en- + nui-.
3. 同源詞：ennui, odious, odium, noisome, annoy.
中文詞源
ennui 無聊
來自拉丁文in odio, 厭惡，討厭，詞源同annoy, odium.
英文詞源
- ennui
- ennui: see annoy
- ennui (n.)
- 1660s as a French word in English; nativized by 1758; from French ennui, from Old French enui "annoyance" (13c.), back-formation from enuier (see annoy). Hence ennuyé (adj.) "afflicted with ennui," and thence ennuyée (n.) for a woman so afflicted.
So far as frequency of use is concerned, the word might be regarded as fully naturalized; but the pronunciation has not been anglicized, there being in fact no Eng. analogy which could serve as a guide. [OED]
