evidence [ˈɛvədəns] n. (pl. evidences)
詞析魔法:
e-出 + vid-看 + -ence表名詞 → [明顯的證據]。
e-
表示「從,從...離開,從...向外,向外,向上」,來自PIE*eghs,向外。該原始印歐語根進入希臘語產生變體形式ek-, 進入英語拼寫演變為ec-;進入拉丁語演變成ex-;在濁輔音b, d, g和半輔音j, l, m, n, r, v前縮寫成e-;在字母f前同化為ef-。
vid-
= see, 表示「看」,拉丁語videre(to see)的完成分詞為visus, 對應詞根vid-, vis-. visus演變為古法語的veue, 對應詞根view。原始印歐語形式為*weid-(to know, to see)。和希臘語hist-是同源關係,希臘語h對應拉丁語v.
-ence
表名詞,「性質,狀態」。
詞源說明:
1 - e-,向外,-vid,看,詞源同 video, visit.
