词根学习:sent / sens

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)。拉丁 sentire = feel(感觉)。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”。sent-sens- 为词干变体(sens- 为过去分词词干),表“感觉、知觉”。(Etymonline: https://www.etymonline.com/word/sense)

目录

A. 意象化理解

  • 感觉 从“身体感知”到“意义(sense)、意见(consent = 一起感觉)、敏感(sensitive)”。sense = 感觉、意义;consent = 一起感觉(同意)→ 同意;sentence = 感觉/判断(的表达)→ 句子、判决。

  • sensitive = 易感的 → 敏感的;nonsense = 无感觉(无意义)→ 胡说。

  • (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)。
