中英词源
profound 深邃的,深远的,深刻的
来自拉丁语profundus,深的,无底的,来自pro-,向前,朝向,fundus,底部,词源同fundamental,bottom.引申词义深邃的,深远的等。拼写受found影响。
- profound (adj.)
- c. 1300, "characterized by intellectual depth," from Old French profund (12c., Modern French profond), from Latin profundus "deep, bottomless, vast," also "obscure; profound; immoderate," from pro- "forth" (see pro-) + fundus "bottom" (see fund (n.)). The literal and figurative senses both were in Latin, but English, having already deep, employed this word primarily in its figurative sense. Related: Profoundly.
