industry的词源
英文词源
- industry




- industry: [15] Industry comes, partly via Old French industrie, from Latin industria, which meant ‘quality of being hard-working, diligence’. This was a derivative of the adjective industrius ‘diligent’, which went back to an Old Latin indostruus, formed from the prefix indu- ‘in’ (see INDIGENOUS) and the element -struus (a relative of the verb struere ‘build’, from which English gets construct, destroy, etc).
=> construct, destroy, structure - industry (n.)




- late 15c., "cleverness, skill," from Old French industrie "activity; aptitude" (14c.) or directly from Latin industria "diligence, activity, zeal," fem. of industrius "industrious, diligent," used as a noun, from early Latin indostruus "diligent," from indu "in, within" + stem of struere "to build" (see structure (n.)). Sense of "diligence, effort" is from 1530s; meaning "trade or manufacture" first recorded 1560s; that of "systematic work" is 1610s.

前缀indu-是in-“在...里”的扩展形式,再如indigenous(土生土长的)里的indi-;词根-stry-指“建造”,如destroy(破坏;摧毁),de-是否定前缀,与“建造”相反的概念,即“破坏”。词根变体为-struct-,如structure(结构),construct(建造)。
