英文詞源
- solid
- solid: [14] Solid comes via Old French solide from Latin solidus ‘solid, whole’ (source also of English solder and soldier and of the French coin term sou). It went back to the same base (Indo-European *sol-) that produced Latin sollus ‘whole’ (source of English solemn and solicit) and salvus ‘unharmed’ (source of English safe, save, etc).
=> solder, soldier, solemn, solicit - solid (adj.)
- late 14c., "not empty or hollow," from Old French solide "firm, dense, compact," from Latin solidus "firm, whole, undivided, entire," figuratively "sound, trustworthy, genuine," from PIE *sol-ido-, suffixed form of root *sol- "whole" (cognates: Greek holos "whole," Latin salus "health," salvus "safe;" see safe (adj.)).
