fatuous是什么意思_fatuous怎么读_中英文释义(含例句用法)

fatuous: fatuous: see fade
fatuous (adj.): "foolish, stupid," 1530s, from Latin fatuus "foolish, insipid, silly;" which is of uncertain origin. Buck suggests originally "stricken" in the head. But de Vaan says from Proto-Italic *fatowo- "of speech," from the PIE root of fame (n.).
[I]f we connect the fact that Fatuus is said to be an alternative name for Faunus, and that he predicted the future, and that this god is attested on an Etruscan mirror as Fatuvs in a clear oracular function (Weiss 2007b), we may venture a derivation from forfor "to say" (Untermann 2000). The name of the god would then have come to be used pejoratively as "silly". [de Vaan]
