Word formation A) It helps us to understand word meanings more deeply and comprehensively. Words ending with –ard often have some sort of derogatory meaning: drunkard, sluggard, laggard, bastard, coward (coward came from Italian cauda, meaning tail, so the word originally may possibly mean ‘(dog) with his tail between his leg’) B) It helps us to enlarge our vocabulary: Anecdote: from Greek anekdotos (unpublished), an- means not, ek means out, dotos means given. So the English word anecdote means ‘a confidential story ‘not’ given out’. Stue-: 1) push→ figuratively into English → Study: push forward with one’s knowledge → Student: one who pushes forward with his knowledge → Studious: hard-working → Studio: a place of study 2) knock → figuratively into English → stupor: the state of being unable to think or use one’s senses 昏迷; 恍惚 → stuporous → Stupefy: to make unable to think or feel (to knock senseless or stun) → Stupefaction → stupefactive → stupid: to be stunned; to be amazed 麻木的→无知觉的→呆头呆脑的→愚蠢的 Stupid student C) It helps us to improve our ability to make words and use words more vividly: Read a sentence from George Bernard Shaw: Germany was outwitted, outprepared, outgeneralled, outfought, outflown, outgassed, outtanked, outraided, outbombed, and finally brought to her knees. (德国计穷了,装备穷了,策略穷了,战斗穷了,飞机穷了,汽油穷了,坦克穷了,攻击穷了,炸弹穷了,终于屈膝而投降。) 4.1 derivation Make new words by adding affixes to a root or by putting different bound roots together.
