1、塑料;作形容词"可塑的、能成型的"。pl- 起头,a 发 /æ/,和 cat 一样,重音在前 plas。
2、来自希腊语"塑形":同根 plasma(血浆、等离子体)、plaster(石膏、膏药)——都跟"能揉捏成型的东西"有关。plastic surgery 整容手术,a plastic bag 塑料袋。
3、近义辨析:plastic 指柔软易造型、可塑;elastic 强调拉伸后回弹(有弹力);flexible 指能弯曲不断、有韧性,也引申"灵活"。口语 plastic 还带贬义"假的、做作的"。

英语词源

plastic
plastic: [16] Plastic is etymologically a ‘mouldable’ substance. The word comes via French plastique and Latin plasticus from Greek plastikós ‘fit for moulding’, a derivative of the verb plássein ‘mould’ (source also of English plasma [18] and plaster). Up until the 20th century its main use in English was as an adjective, meaning ‘pliable’. The first record of its use for a ‘synthetic material made from organic compounds’ comes from 1909. The trade-name Plasticine was coined from it in the 1890s.
