impress [ɪmˈprɛs]
詞析魔法:
im-進 + press【壓】 → 壓進去 → 蓋印 → 印入頭腦 → 感動。
im-
來自拉丁語in-,表示「在內,進入,使...」。該拉丁語字首進入古法語和西班牙語時拼寫演變為en-,這些詞進入英語後導致在現代英語里少數單字存在兩種拼寫形式,如insure, ensure,確保;inquire, enquire,查詢。該字首在字母b, m, p前拼寫變體為im-;在字母l前拼寫同化為il-;在字母r前拼寫同化為ir-。
press-
= press, 表示「擠壓」。
詞源說明:
1 - im-,進入,使,press,壓,按。即壓進去的,引申詞義使留下印象。
