词根:hypo
关键点:核心义是“强/支撑/加固”。把 fortis 想成一股“承重力”:能把结构顶住(fort/fortress),也能把力量推出去(effort),还能把人心扶稳(comfort)。希腊 hypo = under / below(下;不足)。把它想成“力场/要塞”:一方面是 strong,一方面是把东西“加固/支撑起来”。hypo- 表“下、次、不足”。(Etymonline: https://www.etymonline.com/word/hypothesis)
目录
A. 意象化理解
下/不足 从“在…之下、不够”到“假设(hypothesis = 放在下面的前提)、皮下(hypodermic)、低血糖(hypoglycemia)。与 hyper-(过)相对。
(技术语境):把系统当作“城防工程”:fortify=加固边界;effort=把力打出去;comfort=给用户“稳住”的支撑。
三条路径:fort/fortress(防御)→ effort(出力)→ comfort/fortitude(扶稳/坚韧)。
