记忆方法
1、ague(疟疾、打摆子)其实和 acute 是同一个词的两副面孔：拉丁 febris acuta「来势急的烧」，走到古法语成了 aguë，英语先借来说高烧，后来专门指疟疾。
2、acu-／ac- 都是尖、急：acute 急性的、acuity 敏锐、acumen 精明，根上是拉丁 acus「针」。
3、别拆成 a + queue：和排队毫无关系，中间少的是一枚 c。

英语词源
- ague
-
ague: [14] In its origins, ague is the same word as acute. It comes from the Latin phrase febris acuta ‘sharp fever’ (which found its way into Middle English as fever agu). In the Middle Ages the Latin adjective acuta came to be used on its own as a noun meaning ‘fever’; this became aguē in medieval French, from which it was borrowed into English. From the end of the 14th century ague was used for ‘malaria’ (the word malaria itself did not enter the language until the mid 18th century).
=> acute - ague (n.)
- "malarial fever," c. 1300, from Old French ague "acute fever," from Medieval Latin (febris) acuta "sharp (fever)," with fem. of acutus "sharp" (see acute).
