詞態(tài)變化
副詞:?fantastically;
助記提示
1、fant- + -ast + -ic.
2、其實(shí)也就是看得見摸不著的東西，也就是很虛幻、很夢(mèng)幻的東西。
3、其詞根的原始含義為：visible, appear. => only image or picture, picture to oneself, imagine.
4、由此，該詞的含義就很明確了：幻想，空想，狂想，白日夢(mèng)；錯(cuò)覺，幻覺；怪念頭，想入非非。
5、想象的、幻想的東西肯定是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的，但他肯定是完美的、理想的、很奇特的、很不可思議的。由此有了新的引申義。

英文詞源
- fantastic (adj.)
- late 14c., "existing only in imagination," from Middle French fantastique (14c.), from Medieval Latin fantasticus, from Late Latin phantasticus "imaginary," from Greek phantastikos "able to imagine," from phantazein "make visible" (middle voice phantazesthai "picture to oneself"); see phantasm. Trivial sense of "wonderful, marvelous" recorded by 1938. Old French had a different adjective form, fantasieus "weird; insane; make-believe." Medieval Latin also used fantasticus as a noun, "a lunatic," and Shakespeare and his contemporaries had it in Italian form fantastico "one who acts ridiculously."
