中文詞源
strident 刺耳的
來自拉丁語 stridere,摩擦聲，發(fā)出刺耳聲，來自 PIE*strei,刺耳聲，可能來自擬聲構(gòu)詞。
英文詞源
- strident
- strident: [17] Strident was adopted from the present participle of Latin strīdēre ‘make a harsh noise, creak’. This also produced English stridulate [19], which denotes the sound made by grasshoppers.
=> stridulate - strident (adj.)
- 1650s, from French strident (16c.) and directly from Latin stridentem (nominative stridens), present participle of stridere "utter an inarticulate sound, grate, screech," from PIE *(s)trei-, possibly of imitative origin (cognates: Greek trismos "a grinding, scream"). Related: Stridently; stridence; stridency.
