ferocity
英 [f?'r?s?t?]
美 [f?'rɑs?ti]
助記提示
1. 諧音“匪烙尸體”。
2. fierce => ferocity.
3. 諧音“吠、勒(烙)、撕、踢”----一邊兇惡地吠叫，一邊要勒死別人，還要邊撕邊踢，這也太狠了吧。
英文詞源
- ferocity (n.)
- c. 1600, from French férocité, from Latin ferocitatem (nominative ferocitas) "fierceness," from ferocis, oblique case of ferox "bold, courageous, warlike; fierce, savage, headstrong, cruel," literally "wild-looking," a derivative of ferus "wild" (see fierce) + -ox, -ocem (genitive -ocis), a suffix meaning "looking or appearing" (cognate with Greek ops "eye, sight;" see eye (n.)).
