adj.（形容詞）
<注釋>Winter, spring, summer, fall.It is not too difficult to see how the season namesspring and fall came into being, but without some background information it is impossible to tell what the origins of the wordswinter and summer are. Summer goes back to the Indo-European root .sem-, meaning .summer.. From a suffixed form of this root came the prehistoric Common Germanic word.sumaraz, the ancestor of Old Englishsumor and its descendant, Modern English summer. This is the only Indo-European root referring to a season that has survived in an English name for a season.Of the other three,.wesr-, .spring,. has produced words such as vernal; ghyem-, .winter,. has given us words such as hibernate; andesen-, .harvest, fall,. has yielded earn ( from the prehistoric Common Germanic word.aznôn, .to do harvest work, serve.). Winter does, however, go back to the Indo-European root wed-, .water, wet.. From the formwe-n-d- of this root with the nasal infix -n- was derived the Germanic word .wintruz, with the underlying meaning .wet season. and the literal meaning .winter..The Germanic word is the source of Old Englishwinter, the ancestor of Modern English winter.
冬，春，夏，秋。說出季節名spring 和 fall 的來歷不是很難， 但如果沒有一些背景知識，不可能知道winter 和 summer 的詞源。 Summer 可追溯到印歐語中的詞根 sem- ，意思是.夏天.。 給這個詞根加後綴後又轉化為史前的普通日爾曼詞sumaraz， 這是古英文中sumor 的前身，由此又發展來現代英文中的 summer。 這是印歐語中表季節的詞根在英文中作為季節名保留下來的唯一一個。另外三個wesr- .春.產生了象 vernal這類的詞； ghyem-.冬.又給了我們單詞 hibernate； esen- .收穫，秋天.衍生出 earn ( 從史前的普通日爾曼詞aznon .做收穫的工作，服務.而來）。 然而winter 得追溯到印歐詞根 wed- .水，濕的.。 由這個詞根的we-n-d 形式和鼻音中綴 -n- 衍生出日爾曼語詞 wintruz， 其隱含的意思是.濕潤的季節.和字面意義.冬天.。這個日爾曼詞是古英文中winter 的前身，也是現代英文 winter 的前身
