记忆方法

AI 生成 · 仅供参考
为了记忆单词“condign”,可以采用以下简单的记忆方法:

- 将“condign”拆分成“con”和“dign”。
- “Con”可以联想到“come”,即“来”。
- “Dign”可以联想到“dignify”,即“使尊贵”。
- 将两者结合,想象“来”的某件事情使得某人或某物显得尊贵,从而达到“相称的”、“应得的”意思,即“condign”。

因此,记忆方法为:“condign”像是某件事情使得某人或某物自然显得尊贵,就像“来”的某件事使得其显得“相称”或“应得”。

英语词源

condign
condign: [15] From its virtually exclusive modern use in the phrase condign punishment, condign has come to be regarded frequently as meaning ‘severe’, but etymologically it signifies ‘fully deserved’. It comes via Old French condigne from Latin condignus, a compound adjective formed from the intensive prefix comand dignus ‘worthy’ (source of English dainty, deign, dignity, disdain, and indignant, and related to decent). The collocation with punishment arises from the frequent use of the phrase in Tudor acts of parliament.
=> dainty, decent, deign, dignity, disdain, indignant
condign (adj.)
late 15c., "well-deserved," from Old French condigne "deserved, appropriate, equal in wealth," from Latin condignus "wholly worthy," from com- "together, altogether" (see com-) + dignus "worthy" (see dignity). Of punishment, "deservedly severe," from 1510s, which by Johnson's day (1755) was the only use.
