sew是什么意思

sew

英 [səʊ] 美 [so]
  • vt. 缝合,缝上;缝纫
  • vi. 缝纫,缝

助记提示


so 如此,那么——sew缝补 
口诀:他缝衣服如此地快。
2. Latin sutus, past participle of suere "to sew" => sew, suture, seam.
3. sew => seam.
4. 区分:sew, sow: sew中间是字母E, 字母E的发音与汉字“衣”相同,所以sew的含义是缝衣服的“缝”。
5. 象形词:s- (拼音“丝”----丝线) + e (谐音“衣”---衣服) + w (象形:缝衣服时从上往下穿一针,然后再从下往上穿一针,如此循环往复) => sew: 用丝线循环往复地缝衣服。同样地,单词seam也具有象形的感觉,中间的-ea-的发音也与汉字“衣”相同,尾部的字母M只不过是字母W的倒置而已,方向相反地缝补。

英文词源


sew
sew: [OE] Sew comes, with its relatives Swedish sy and Danish sye, from a prehistoric Germanic *siwjan. This was descended from an Indo- European base *siw-, *sju- that also produced Latin suere ‘sew’ (source of English suture [16]), Greek humén ‘membrane’ (source of English hymen [17]), and English seam. It is no relation to sow.
=> hymen, seam, suture
sew (v.)
Old English siwian "to stitch, sew, mend, patch, knit together," earlier siowian, from Proto-Germanic *siwjanan (cognates: Old Norse syja, Swedish sy, Danish sye, Old Frisian sia, Old High German siuwan, Gothic siujan "to sew"), from PIE root *syu- "to bind, sew" (cognates: Sanskrit sivyati "sews," sutram "thread, string;" Greek hymen "thin skin, membrane," hymnos "song;" Latin suere "to sew, sew together;" Old Church Slavonic šijo "to sew," šivu "seam;" Lettish siuviu, siuti "to sew," siuvikis "tailor;" Russian švec "tailor"). Related: Sewed; sewing. To sew (something) up "bring it to a conclusion" is a figurative use attested by 1904.
