英文词源
- gorgeous (adj.)
- c. 1500, "splendid, showy, sumptuously adorned" (of clothing), from Middle French gorgias "elegant, fashionable," of unknown origin; perhaps a special use of gorgias "necklace" (and thus "fond of or resembling jewelry"), from Old French gorge "throat," also "something adorning the throat" (see gorge (n.)). A connection to the Greek proper name Gorgias (supposedly in reference to a notorious sophist) also has been proposed. Related: Gorgeousness.
中文解释
1. from Old french gorgias, "finely dressed, luxurious", formed from the name of Gorgias, a Greek sophist and rhetorician, who took pleasure in showing off his luxury.2. => "splendid, showy" (of clothing).3. 因此要注意的是，该词与 gorge 并没有什么关系，首部相同只是巧合而已。
