可以将“mendacious”拆分为两部分记忆:“men”和“dacious”。想象一个“men”站在一面镜子(“dacious”中“d”可以联想到“mirror”的“d”)前,由于他说的都是谎言,所以镜子(表示真实)显示出的形象是扭曲的。这种形象化的记忆可以帮助记住“mendacious”表示“撒谎的”或“不真实的”这个意思。

mendacious (adj.)
1610s, from Middle French mendacieux, from Latin mendacium "a lie, untruth, falsehood, fiction," from mendax (genitive mendacis) "lying, deceitful," from menda "fault, defect, carelessness in writing," from PIE root *mend- "physical defect, fault" (see amend (v.)). The sense evolution of Latin mendax was influenced by mentiri "to speak falsely, lie, deceive." Related: Mendaciously; mendaciousness.
