中英词源

saturnine 阴沉的，令人生畏的

来自 Saturn,土星，-ine,形容词后缀。受中世纪科学知识的局限，天海冥三星尚未发现，土星被认为是最远的行星，在当时的星象学，占星师认为在土星座出生的孩子，由于远离太阳缺少阳光，性格会比较阴沉冷淡，因而引申词义阴沉的，令人生畏的。比较 jovial,开朗的，欢乐的，来自 Jupiter,木星，罗马主神朱庇特，欢乐神，字面意思为在木星座出生的孩子。

saturnine (adj.): "gloomy, morose, sluggish, grave," mid-15c., literally "born under the influence of the planet Saturn," from Middle English Saturne (see Saturn) + -ine (1). Medieval physiology believed these characteristics to be caused by the astrological influence of the planet Saturn, which was the most remote from the Sun (in the limited knowledge of the times) and thus coldest and slowest in its revolution.
