archives
英 ['a:kaivz]
美
- n. 檔案，檔案室；案卷（archive的復(fù)數(shù)）
- v. 把…收集歸檔；把…存檔（archive的三單形式）
助記提示
1、arch- + -ive + -s.
2、該詞來(lái)源于希臘語(yǔ)，其原始字面含義是：official building, government building; 其復(fù)數(shù)的含義為：public records; 后來(lái)，其含義也就取其復(fù)數(shù)形式的含義了。
3、其含義來(lái)源其實(shí)也很簡(jiǎn)單、清楚；所有的機(jī)密的、非機(jī)密的檔案不都是存放在政府大樓里面、掌握在政府手中嗎？
英文詞源
- archives
- archives: [17] The Greek verb arkhein meant originally ‘begin’ – and hence ‘be in first place, rule’. This sense development lies behind the diversity in meaning of the words ultimately derived from it in English. Greek arkheion was the official residence of a ruler, a ‘public office’, and its plural, arkheia, was used for ‘public records’; it passed into English via Latin archīa, later archīva, and French archives.
Greek arkhē, on the other hand, had the sense ‘beginning’, and the adjective formed from it, arkhaios, later arkhaikós, ‘a(chǎn)ncient’, came through French archa?que into English as archaic [19] (arkhaios is also the source of archaeology [17]). The same split in meaning is evident in the prefix arch-, which comes from the same source: in archetype, for instance, it signifies ‘first’, whereas in archduke it implies ‘highest in rank’.
=> archaic, archetype - archives (n.)
- c. 1600, from French archif (16c.), from Late Latin archivum (singular), from Greek ta arkheia "public records," plural of arkheion "town hall," from arkhe "government," literally "beginning, origin, first place" (see archon).
