记忆“infamous”可以将其分解为“in-”和“famous”。先记住“famous”意为著名的,然后想象“in-”前缀像是一个负面标签,将其放在“famous”前面,就像给“著名的”加上了一个反面的修饰,从而形成“臭名昭著的”意思。通过这种对比联想,可以帮助记忆“infamous”的含义。

infamous
infamous: [14] The negative connotations of infamous go back a long way – to the word’s source, in fact, Latin infāmis. This did not mean simply ‘not well known’; the prefix in- denoted positively ‘bad’, and so infāmis signified ‘of ill repute’. In post-classical times infāmis became infamōsus, which passed into English as infamous.
=> famous
infamous (adj.)
"of ill repute," late 14c., from Medieval Latin infamosus, from Latin in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + famosus "celebrated" (see famous). Meaning influenced by Latin infamis "of ill fame" (see infamy). As a legal term, "disqualified from certain rights of citizens in consequence of conviction of certain crimes" (late 14c.). The neutral fameless is recorded from 1590s. Related: Infamously.
