名詞:?incontinence;
助記提示
1. con- "together" + tin- + -ence.
2. => hold together, keep together, enclose.
3. 由此得出兩種引申義：一、既然是握在一起的，那么就引申為“連續(xù)的，銜接在一起的”；二、既然被圈在一起、禁錮在一起，那么就引申義“節(jié)制、克制”。
4. 這里取第二種引申義。
5. in- "not, opposite of" + continent (adj.).
英文詞源
- incontinent (adj.)
- late 14c., "wanting in self restraint," from Old French incontinent, from Latin incontinentem (nominative incontinens) "incontinent, immoderate, intemperate," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + continens (see continent). Originally chiefly of sexual appetites; sense of "unable to control bowels or bladder" first attested 1828.
